fontaine: Question!
fontaine: Do you have any plans to present a talk at some point?
fontaine: Saw you at HOPE, but IIRC you didn't present (sadface)
fontaine: (Oh, as frame of reference, I'm the random weirdo/friend-of-Shidash who fixed your collar, because it was partying like it's 1989).
me: sup, I actually did this in NYC last month http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-02/how-the-experts-would-fix-cyber-security
fontaine: Kewl!
me: but I've never spoke at a convention of any sort and don't have plans to, would if asked
fontaine: Well, CCC posted their request for participation :D
fontaine: It would give you an excuse to go to Hamburg for the winter
me: I couldn't afford that at all
fontaine: Ahhh, but they are offering financial incentives to broaden the type of people who apply
fontaine: events.ccc.de/2012/08/03/call-for-participation-for-29th-chaos-communication-congress/
me: well, I'll look into it
me: thanks
fontaine: no problemo. I'm applying (I think my HOPE talk was kind of a disaster, but seems like most people really like it)
fontaine: So just thought I'd pass along the info
fontaine: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
me: east africa
fontaine: Interesting choice =) because of your earlier life there? or something else?
