Hi InfoSec Industry Whores! :)

Preparations for New Zealand's first community-run security con -
KiwiCON 2k7 - are well under way. KiwiCON is scheduled for 17-18th
November in Wellington, New Zealand, NZ$50 at the door, or NZ$30 for
students, the unemployed, or the derelict. As the CFP says, the cost in
dignity for the weekend may be higher.

The CFP has been out for a month, and we've already announced the first
round of great speakers. There's some well known Kiwis like Brett Moore
(his first outing under his new InsomniaSec banner!) and Paul Craig, but
because we have no budget for fancy-schmancy international-con-circuit
types, you'll get to see some new faces too. The CFP close off date is
1st October, so there's still time if you need an excuse to make your
employer fly you to the Antipodes for beer.

Full CFP, presentation, event and venue details are available on
kiwicon.org, along with an XSS-free online registration form. As an
added bonus, our archivists have scoured their ancient Amiga filesystems
to bring you the kiwicon.org Way Way Hack Machine - an archive of SuPeR
eLiTe NZ tFiLeZ from the last two decades of the NZ h/p/a scene.

The infosec industry is littered with expat Kiwis - we know who you are!
We went round to your mum's place, and she says she wishes you'd come
home to see her more often. You can get some home-made tucker AND drink
beer with Kiwi hackers! What more incentive could you need to make the
trip home? Pavlova? Vegemite? Views like the top of kiwicon.org[1]?

To our sheep-shagging Australian cousins: you've got no Ruxcon this
year! We've spent the last 4 years coming to your damn island for Rux,
now it's your turn to come here.

KiwiCON: More Kiwi Than Other Cons.

See you there!
