[Dailydave] DEF CON One Five CfP in effect!

[Richard Thieme]

I've been to eleven Def Cons now and this is correct - it has always 
been scheduled last week of July first week of August and since Def Con 
5, which was the first Black Hat, has had to mind the tail that now is a 
full grown dog ...

if someone put all the infosec, infowar, physical security, and homeland 
defense cons on the calender - would there be ANY open days in the year 
besides a few holidays?
