I don't think they have a definite date at this point. They're also not
completely certain what they want to do.

I'm encouraging them to put together a couple of secure boxen, then invite
people to come in and try to compromise them.

For an ideal hackfest they could have knowledgable people watching the
secure boxen explaining what kinds of attacks they're seeing as well as
showing how to detect them and defend against them. We would also have
people who can talk about the tools and exploits they're using to try to
hack the boxen.

I think that would be an awesome experience for learning what it takes to
secure a box.

ciao,
