  Open Letter:
  
  I'm looking for people that are interested in speaking at the upcoming
  Canc0n99 event.

  This will be an extremely grassroots, small (its new!) event with little or no commercial parties involved. Some small vendors will
  be allowed to display their warez but it is NOT a big commercial
  money making event its for hackers, by hackers. 

  I'd really love to see people from LoU, 2600, r00t, the l0pht 
  genocide2600 and others (personal invites to follow ;-) ) to attend
  this meet, lets make this one a winner and prove the Canadian gov't
  that they work for the people and not the other way around. 

  Previous planned cons were SHUT DOWN by the government and hotels
  blacklisted the con disregarding contracts by bad press. We intend
  to go ahead even if it means holding it in a public park, so be assured that this is the real deal, help make it work.

  if you have comments, suggestions, want to attend, want to display
  goods, want to design banners, t-shirts or can provide them cheap or
  donate them free for the cause please contact us. thanks

  HWA staff
