BarCamp Milwaukee 10

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BarCampMilwaukee 10
Milwaukee, WI

For the tenth consecutive year, BarCampMilwaukee is returning the first weekend in October. Heat Athletics will host the event at its previous location see below for details. Doors open at 9:00 AM, Saturday October 3rd.

A BarCamp is a wholly unique event that provides a free, open-environment forum where the participants are in charge of what happens. It is an interactive conversation where professionals and curious alike come to learn, teach, and imagine. This revolutionary “unconference” allows participants to float from one session to another, and encourages the development of interesting ideas and spontaneous discussion. Since the first BarCamp in the US eight years ago, hundreds of BarCamps have been organized throughout the world.

Throughout BarCampMilwaukee’s ten year run, participants have been involved in a wide array of session topics ranging from:
Software Development: Ruby on Rails, Drupal, and JavaScript.
Technologies: 3d printing/scanning, video editing, robots, and solutions for non-profits.
Solutions for small businesses and non-profits.
All the way to things like Zombie Defense Preparation, lockpicking, sushi making, and many other topics for makers, DIYers, artists and other creatives.

Barcamp is a program of The School Factory, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that builds value-creating communities and spaces to transform education, economy, and talent.

When: Doors open Saturday, October 3rd at 9:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM October 4th

DEFCON badge files ripped!

Many thanks to Klaiviel, Vladimir, and dw5304 for their fast work at getting these badges ripped! We have recorded the contents of all badges that we know of (human, vendor, contest, artist, goon, speaker) and uploaded the contents in both lossy and lossless formats.

If you’d like to listen, please download the lossy file at THIS location.  We have also added the lossless encoding (as best as we can do under the circumstances) at THIS location.  It’s a 119Mb file.

Update: Although we have been told they are all identically stamped, we did digitize every badge we could find. Those have been uploaded as well — just list the folder if you want them. Thanks to those who allowed us to record their badges:

human – white – dw5304
blue – speaker – Jose
green – vendor – duosecurity.com
yellow – press – @techjournalist
clear – artist – DarrenBob
red – goon – Kentzonestar
gold – contest – TombOfTheUnknownGoon

June meetup re-cap

We’re still very much alive and active, no one has bothered to update the website is all. 🙂   dw5304 got us off to a fun start with some Outernet reception, although it was really a demofail.  Still fun to set up a satellite and receive signals!

Klaiviel had an awesome 3d printed brute force machine in the works for combination locks.  Very fast!

We also did a nice sized LAN party on Saturday, lots of fun, booze, and yelling commenced.  Want to join in the fun? Feeling like you missed out? Are you on our mailing list? You should be!  or join us on IRC on freenode at #dc414.

Upcoming Events

Quick update on some upcoming events DC414 will be at.

First off the date of the next meeting has changed. It will be held on September 26th to create a buffer around BarCamp Milwaukee. That brings us to the next event:

BarCamp Milwaukee
October 4, 2014

BarCamp Milwaukee is the premier event for Milwaukeeans, by Milwaukeeans, to learn, teach and imagine anything you are interested in. The open format of BarCamp puts the participants in charge of what happens. Unlike a typical “conference” where the event is pre-determined, this revolutionary “unconference” allows participants to float from one session to another, and encourages the development of innovative ideas and spontaneous discussion. This event is open to anyone with an interest, an idea or a desire to learn and connect with other people. Since the first BarCamp in the US nine years ago, hundreds of BarCamps have been organized throughout the world.

See http://barcampmilwaukee.org/ for details.

And finally, a LAN party was announced on October 11th.

All events can always be found on the Meetings page.
