<p>This talk has been done to death. I suggest finding a more original topic.</p>

Subject: [austin-hacker-space] Speaking at Defcon<br>
To: <a href="mailto:austin-hacker-space@googlegroups.com">austin-hacker-space@googlegroups.com</a><br>
<br>
<br>
I am going to submit a proposal for a talk at Defcon on starting a<br>
hackerspace. Specifically, I would like to give a short presentation<br>
(15-20 minutes) on how we built the Austin Hackerspace and then leave<br>
the remainder of the hour (50 minutes actually) open for questions to<br>
the panel. The panel will hopefully consist of a couple members of<br>
AHS as well as members from other hackerspaces around the world. That<br>
way, we will have the combined expertise to answer any "how-to"<br>
questions from the audience.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in participating, please e-mail me your bio:<br>
"This text will be used for the website and printed materials. Cover<br>
any professional history that is relevant to the presentation,<br>
including past jobs, tools that you have written, etc. Let people know<br>
who you are and why you are qualified to speak on your topic.<br>
Presentations that are submitted without biographies will not be<br>
considered."<br>
<br>
Also, please tell me how you plan to contribute to the panel. You<br>
must be willing to field questions from the audience if you are going<br>
to sit on the panel. Also, you need to be 100% certain that you are<br>
going to be in Vegas July 30th - August 1st. The talk may be<br>
scheduled on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday so you need to be available<br>
all three days to speak.<br>
<br>
The deadline is June 1st - all of the details are here:<br>
