First off let me say, I attended Phreaknic this weekend expecting a great experience, catch a few security talks, trade a few tips at Root Wars. I did not get any of that. It was one of the most poorly organized events I have been too in the past few years.
Who wants to attend a lecture from a nerd about how to pick up women? Who cares what Google has to say about Malware? When I asked a staff member what was going on I got the reply," What does the program say?" You want people to pay twenty-five dollars to come here and then be a dick to them? The NLUG group was visible for a "mass install" with about 5 machines running ubuntu. Root Wars had 6 or 7 guys sitting at a table with a command prompt open, no scripts running nothing just talking about World of Warcraft or something. And when they were asked a question about, what OS was the box running or had anyone gotten ROOT yet, the answer was. "I Don't Know" followed by everyone staring at their feet. Now antisocial is one thing, but if you can't carry on a conversation about a computer at a "Hacker-CON" then what is the point of living? With that said, I am not here to flame, though I am sure I will get my fair share. But damn, at least let people know that all Phreaknic is about is hanging out at a hotel on the ghetto side of Nashville with some underage kids drinking and hanging out with only their online friends. Not one person made me or my group feel like we should be there because we were not part of the group. If I wanted to sit around and drink with ugly girls and get drunk, I could do it at a much better place, for a much cheaper price.
