<p>FYI,</p><p><b>NOTACON</b>, an annual conference held in Cleveland, Ohio,
explores and showcases technologies, philosophy and creativity often
overlooked at other "hacker cons". Our desire is not to supplant other
events, but complement them and strike a balance that has gone
unnoticed in our community for far too long.</p>
<p>With each new year we build upon the successes and knowledge of the
previous years. Our goal is to enlighten, educate, and entertain
attendees, presenters, and staff alike. We try to do this by finding
new ways to apply technology to graphics, art, music, or social
interaction.
</p>
<p>Notacon espouses an ethos of exploration, participation and positive
contributions. Hence, while some of the material we may cover is
controversial or potentially "black hat" in nature, we feel it is
important to bring light to all topics so that everyone can learn from
the experience and create something good, fun or interesting from it.</p><br>==<br>I just wanted to know if anyone was interested in this. I am somewhat interested in going, but would be slightly more interested if a group went up. If your concern is logistics, let me know, as I have a car, and I'm from Cleveland, so I might know a place to stay at. <br>
<br>Theres also a registration fee and such $75<br><p><br>
