Hello good people - we need your help! In conjunction with SXSW Interactive, we are working to setup a BSides Austin event on March 13th in Austin, TX. In order to bring this event to fruition, we need:
* Sponsors (named or unnamed) - We need financial support to secure a location, AV equipment, and snacks/food for the day. We're also looking for sponsorship to extend the event to a lounge in the evening.
* Supporters - We need help spreading the word. We'll need on-site help running the event. And, probably a dozen other things.
* Speakers - The format is an unconference, so we need attendees who are comfortable speaking or leading discussion groups. Given the conjunction with SXSW Interactive, this event may be well-geared toward developers, the development community, and appsec.
