This year our friendly neighbourhood server administrator Bert JW Regeer (aka X-Istence) is to be attending the DefCon Security Conference in Las Vegas. To help send him on his way we need your help! We are asking you lovely spammers-paradise.com members to donate some money to help him get his entrance ticket and keep his cars engine running while driving to Las Vegas.
DEFCON is one of the oldest continuous running hacker conventions around, and also one of the largest. It is a security conference and general gathering held in Las Vegas right after the Blackhat security conference. People in the industry all gather at the Riviera to promote their own research and deliver talks and presentations about research they have completed in their area. There will also be contests, pranks and other fun to take part in. It will allow Bert to meet with industry professionals and discover more about his field of study, as well as gain valuable knowledge and contacts to further his schooling and employment opportunities thereafter.
Please donate a dollar or two, and help remove some of the burden of the costs associated with attendance, from a poor university student.
More about Bert: He is a University student at the University of Advancing technology, studying Computer Programming/Network Security in the field of Software Engineering. He maintains a blog at: http://personal.x-istence.com/
Thanks ahead of time guys!
p.s. As an added bonus, anyone that donates $3 or more will get an Ad Free site for a year (normally $10) (http://osnn.net/comments.php?shownews=14008)
