You asked for presentation ideas? I would love to see presentations on security issues. E.g. Would love to hear about buffer overflows and other details of how hacks work. Explanation of why winblows is less secure. General security hygenie issues.
Sorry for posting this generally, but I figured this would be a good way to see if enough others were interested in hearing and/or presenting the topic of security. Also, I'm interested in the possiblity of volunteering. Feel free to contact me backchannel. Thanx.
