By base you mean just the kernel source right? Because Xorg or Xfree86 source is also available and then FOSSians can build the kernel, then build the X*. > - Write a WINE patch to run a application Z for Linux > > - Fix a wiped out MBR and partation table with a live CD and make OS > boot work for windows 98, xp, linux and BSD all together.

I also vote for this kind of sec conf. And I'd do my bit given enough momentum by Nepalese sec. community. But sometimes I feel you guys should -drive- the momentum rather than -wait- for momentum. > Given that, re$ource available i could plan all technical requirement > of the conference within a month but i am skeptic about the quality > (and quantity) of the audience that will be interested. > > :( Why don't you start off something each year with little people? That'd surely gain the track as the members discuss and learn more new stuffs in security field and pass it on to others, it'll surely grow in that aspect. I mean I am -guessing- that there aren't -many- (few thousands possibly?) security professionals in Nepal but surely if you could get hold as much students, professionals and get them to come to say a sec conf. or give a talk on certain stuffs, that would be a good start IMHO. Certainly also consider inviting other sec. gurus from abroad to give talks. Certainly possible ideas floating around but time and energy is definitely needed and not to mention the amount of planning that goes into it.:-) Good to hear it Bipin. -- Cheers, Bikal.
