So, Defcon is almost here.

As far as I know the people going are....
Eps, S0kket, BlackOrchid, Mantis, Dbag, Bannedit, Vandal, Plasmatonic, Livinded, and myself.

If I missed anyone just let me know.

As far as HAck3r goes. WE will be chillen most of the weekend attending some various lectures, and probably helping livinded on his aCTF team.

When we get back, we plan to launch multiple releases of various projects.

Burned has finished on which we are very excited to see at use.
I am finishing up the API structure for all of our projects to tap into Hack3r information.

So, today I discovered Nexuiz. Nexuiz is an open-source first person shooter, based on the Quake3 engine. Well, someone a few days ago mentioned it in irc (maybe rpag?). I installed it today and was really impressed by it.

We're going to set up a dedicated Nexuiz server. I would like to hold a Hack3r-sponsored game the weekend before Defcon (the 1st of August) to get us all in the mood for Defcon. What does everyone think?

Just updating everyone on the current involvements.
Hack3r.com now has a store for those that wish to buy merchandise. A percentage of this goes to Hack3r so that we can pay for services, hosting, and hardware upgrades for the Roothack suite.

The store can be seen at http://hack3r.spreadshirt.com

Lattera is moving forward with the scorebot and It is apparently on schedule.

The new wargames are under full development by mantis and s0kket and are moving forward.

The previous Roothack winners will be announced tonight.

I have a list of projects that I currently need help with.

So who is going? Who may go? Who is staying with the crazy H3C group?
So far, I have reserved a room...and Ocyrus is planning on joining. Anyone else?

So, after a long discussion with multiple people I decided to stop development on the initial site code and switch to drupal.

Any bugs or Interface fixes please posts to bugs.

Also, if you are going to post a bug, please try and provide a solution.

Thanks!

and enjoy.
