[SDBUG] USENIX HotSec '09 Call For Papers Now Available

[Peter Leftwich_Hostmaster]

*Hi All-

I forget what it's called, but when is the next convention in San Diego that
features a "Root Wars" [hacking] contest?

Any chance it is held over a weekend..?  Thanks to whoever knows what
gobbledygook I am spilling herein by this inquiry!  P.S. (Rob,) Is the free
social event "March Mingle" happening in 2009??

-Peter
