survey re interest for SAN NetWars Tournament at SPC (short deadline to answer)

[Doug Pearson <dodpears () REN-ISAC NET>]

SANS, EDUCAUSE and REN-ISAC are considering offering a 6 hour SANS
NetWars Tournament as a preconference seminar at the EDUCAUSE Security
Professionals Conference on May 15 in Indianapolis. A nominal fee of
$175 will be charged to recover facility costs for food and audio-visual.

We need to gauge the number of likely participants in order to decide
whether to hold the Tournament. If you think you'll participate, please
complete this survey before close of business on February 7.

Participants bring their own laptop to play. Your response is not
binding. Contact information will not be used for any purpose other than
judging whether to host the Tournament. Your response will be shared
with SANS, REN-ISAC and EDUCAUSE.

Please answer the survey for yourself only, not for your team or campus.
Feel free to forward to anyone at your organization that might be
interested.

NetWars Tournament is a collection of live, hands-on computer and
network security challenges designed to represent real-world security
issues, their flaws and their resolutions. NetWars is meant to challenge
network and security staff and build the player’s skills throughout the
challenges. Each player will receive feedback on the tasks, giving them
valuable information so they can improve their skills. To read about
