#defcon28 has entered Safe Mode.
The #DEFCONiscanceled meme has crossed over into real life, courtesy of #COVID19. In early March we had hopes that things would be stable by August. That is no longer realistic.

Thanks for the mention, @ginnyfahs! Some good tips in here for @defcon #HackerSummerCamp first timers.

I had the *ultimate* time @defcon with @wisporg & @DC_BHV, so wrote an *ultimate* guide for other newbies.

Kudos to @AndreaCoravos, @beauwoods, @RachelTobac & #WISPDEFCON for making my #DEFCON27 magical✨

In 15 minutes, @EliSugarman from @Hewlett_Found will be speaking at @BSidesLV Public Ground.

What is the Cyber Peace Initiative, why is it needed, and how will it take shape?

[the lost policymaker @lostpolicymaker]

@Bambino0710 @BSidesLV They’re here now. Come get one and hear our final session of the day.

[the lost policymaker @lostpolicymaker]

Looking for a printed copy of the guide? The Public Ground track at @BSidesLV is the only place to get them (for now). Head over to the Platinum Hotel and pick you’re up.

Using my early morning to read the @lostpolicymaker’s guide to hacker summer camp- an excellent work explaining the hacking community and DEFCON for policy makers (and also a good read for @defcon first timers!!) excellent work by @beauwoods and team 🤩 https://t.co/m3R4lJB981

[the lost policymaker @lostpolicymaker]

For those in Vegas Tues or Wed, the I Am The Cavalry and Public Ground tracks at #BSidesLV have plenty of public policy content and are open to those without tickets, space permitting. Come over to the kinder, friendlier Vegas hacker conference. https://t.co/TGyvgqABF7

Attending the desert hacker geekfest?
Not entirely sure how #egov policy suits should be handling themselves at a #defcon?
@BeauWoods the @lostpolicymaker has your back.
