About
We'll be back in 2011
We pulled it off and everyone had a great time. For a freshman Con, we think we did a damn good job. Some folks even told us so. So... we're going to do it all over again next year. We'll even rent some extra chairs so we don't have to move them around for the keynote talks! Block out the weekend of April 29th to May 1st, 2011 now, before you forget.
Inclusive
QuahogCon is a regional conference for the hacker culture in all forms. Hardware, Software, Security, Social, Eco Hacking, Zero Impact Living. Like most hacker cons, it will run Friday to Sunday. We'll have two tracks: one for InfoSec topics and the other track will be a mix of all the other topics with a bit of an emphasis on hardware hacking and DIY electronics. Besides our perennial InfoSec favorites, we want to hear from some new voices on a wider range of topics. If it's a good hack, we want to hear what you're doing.
Hardware Hacking Lounge
We've got another great hackable badge in the works and we'll also see if we can manage to get Mitch and Jimmie to staff the Hardware Hacking Lounge again.
Small and Local
Once we properly got the word out last year, we managed to sell out in 3 weeks. We're going to keep it small again for next year, so be sure to keep an eye on our RSS and/or Twitter feeds. It's hella easy to get to PVD. All you folks in Boston, NYC, Philly, DC: take the train here and check out all Providence has to offer.
A Mission
If we manage not to completely lose our shirts on this, we'll be donating a significant portion of the proceeds to AS220 Labs in support of their FabLab initiative. They're building the hackerspace we wanted, so we totally need to support that.
Who?
QuahogCon is brought to you by DC401 in association with AS220.
