Geeks and guns are a natural match. Open-source software is about
getting freedom; personal firearms are about keeping it. Besides
that, hackers gotta love anything where you get to tinker with
complex hardware that makes loud exploding noises.
If you're interested in attending or organizing future Geeks With Guns
events, Jay Maynard has started two mailing lists; gwg@conmicro.cx for general
discussion and gwg-announce@conmicro.cx, a
moderated announcements. Subscribe by sending a message with a body
containing the word `subscribe', followed by a space, followed by your
email address. For convenience, here are mail-to links to the request
addresses for gwg@conmicro.cx and gwg-announce@conmicro.cx
The Future
It's a tradition now. I expect to be organizing these as long as
people keep inviting me back to hacker conferences.
