<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">As many of you know, but for those who don't, I'm one of the people that put on CarolinaCon (a hacker convention). Each year we run into the problem of not knowing what other conventions maybe going on around the same time as ours, only to find out after signing a contract with a hotel. This happened to us again for this coming year and has happened to many others in the past, So <span style="text-align: -webkit-center; ">Deviant Ollam and myself have started <a href="http://HackerCons.org">HackerCons.org</a>, While we can't stop all scheduling conflicts, I think this can help. it's nothing pretty to look at but it's got what we need, a basic calendar to keep track of hackercons, maker faires and other computer/security conventions around the world.</span></font></span><div>
