Podcaster's Meetup @ ShmooCon Update 1
(Sponsors still needed)

[everyone is BCC'd as always, we are moving to a mailing list soon]

We have had a lot of great response for everyone on this year's event! I
want to reiterate, this event is for podcasters, bloggers, twitter addicts,
and everyone in between. I would also like to announce an update to our
sponsor's lineup:

Sponsors:

TheAcademyPro.com / TheAcademyHome.com

--- These are twin sites catering videos to the security pro looking to
learn about everything from enterprise gear to Maltego, and the home user
trying to start the learning about security and how to secure their own
computers without going to you the IT guy in the family.

DojoSec <http://www.dojosec.com/>

--- A conference in Columbia, Maryland that is geared towards education of
the beginner to intermediate hacker / security guru. It is a monthly
conference with perpetual call-for-papers.


Hewitt-Packard <http://www.hp.com/>

--- No introduction needed, they are the maker of the fabled HP 2133, the
hackers choice 'netbook' (which we may just be giving away one)


Sunbelt Software <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/>

--- Makers of VIPRE the low resource AV, and the CWSandbox malware analyzer

Look forward to some awesome prizes and giveaways this year!

FireTalks:

Have a talk that didn't get accepted? Want the chance to share a project
> that you are working on? Think of FireTalks as a verbal blog post.

> stories. At SchmooCon 2009, "FireTalks" is a supportive environment in which
> to either share insights or learn from others. Whether polishing a
> presentation (story) for conferences, meetings or training, FireTalks are
> the way to share, learn and improve.

> Meetup. Talks are limited to 10-15 minutes with four (4) scheduled talks and
> four (4) open slots. Open slots will be filled on a first come, first serve
> basis.
Saturday night will be more relaxed. Come join us and present, listen and
> learn.
