Hey all,

I'm fairly proud of this. Attendance may be upwards of 3,000 and the invite
went out to over 300,000 people. Stephen Northcutt, Joshua Wright, and I
worked on it for a while and it's gotten pretty solid reviews thus far. We'll
be expanding it throughout the year and I'll present it at a Cyber Defense
Initiative conference
(CDI) at the end of the year (it's one of the CDI projects). Other projects
in the past have included the SANS Top 20 list and Bastille Linux. 

:)
