Union Station is rather large. I have set up a gmail account and a phone number that people can call once they are there to get the location of the meeting.

binrev.dc@gmail.com
202-658-7730
and of course if you have Google Talk you can IM questions

You can also call this number or email that box for information regarding the meetings

once you get a few meetings under your belt let me know and we'll give you a subdomain at binrevmeetings.com to host a meeting site

Everyone, (who did not already receive a PM from me) please send me a list of topics you would be interested in either presenting or learning about.

Quoting myself....

I have only received one PM about this. Our meetings will be pretty lame if we have nothing to do so please send me topics soon; people need time to address the topics.

Does anyone have a caravan? I think it'd be cool to cram like 8 guys into a caravan and go wardriving while discussing random tech crap. BinRev meeting on the road, anyone?

I've got a camcorder, so depending on where we meet, etc., I'll video the meetings so we can post them (wherever for now, most likely YouTube, then embed them later somewhere).

i believe droops is doing something similiar and submitting it to hacktv....might be an idea

[DarkShadow]

Currently, I believe we have a presentation on lock picking and I will be doing a presentation on Genetic Algorithms. Please make a final post if you will be able to come this Friday (May 18. 2007).

Hope to see you guys there

[DarkShadow]

bump... you guys still alive? The meeting is tomorrow !

---EDIT---
MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO LACK OF AVAILABLE MEMBERS THIS MONTH !

Please mark your calendars for next months meeting! However, if enough people request this, we can have a meeting earlier. I believe I am partly at fault for the cancellation of the meeting since I did not remind you guys in advance (I just assumed you guys checked this thread...)

Yeah, I had some RL things pop up that absolutely couldn't be controlled, so I'm sorry I had to dip out on this one. And yeah, reminders go a long way in making sure people stay aware of the meetings.

I have been to Union Station in DC and have talked to friends about it. I am starting to think its not such a good idea to hold our meetings there. First, it is not near most of our members. Second, it is not a very safe place to be with a laptops. Third, its not a very good area and not really in Maryland. I am thinking of some place in either Montgomery county or Fredrick county. Any suggestions? Also, I believe that it would be a good idea to have a meeting this coming Friday instead of just completely canceling this meeting.

One place which might work well for meetings is downtown Silver Spring. It's nice because witin a block and a half of the metro (Silver Spring Station, on the Red Line) there is a large cluster of restaurants and about two blocks from the metro is the Silver Spring Verizon CO. Although, in terms of gear safety, the area is getting much better, but I am always one to be a worry wart.

If the meeting were to be there though, there are a couple of possible places. One would be by the restaurants since there is nice, bright outdoor seating and it is also right next to a parking lot for all of you who don't want to take metro and want to drive. There is also a nice diner (Tasty Diner, Silver Spring) which has great, moderatly priced food and is conveinetly located behind the Silver Spring CO. There is also plenty of UE area around.

Wow I'm not alone in this state. If you can get something together for a meeting I'd try to make it (work permitting).

I was just wondering if anyone else in the area was going to the VMware Symposia next Wednesday. If anyone is interested in going, but hasn't registered yet, you can register here. It seems like they still have slots open, but they will probibly go fast now. So, if anyone else is going, maybe we can meetup or something.

I live in Montgomery County and would love to come, but seeing as i am 15 i dont think my parents would like it so much if i told them i was gonig to a hacking meeting

[Lelantus]

I guess this has never been started and has died. I would like pick this up where it has been left off. I propose voting on a general location first and then picking a specific place later. I suggest the following locations:

• Rockville (1 vote) Lelantus
• Bethesda
• Silver Spring
• Union Station (2 votes) mubix, cypress

Please reply to this thread, e-mail me, or IM me your vote and I will update this thread regularly with the current votes. I hope to have a general location agreed upon within 2 - 3 days. This Friday, we can gather at the closest metro stop to the selected general location and search for good meeting locations. During this time we can all introduce ourselves and have some fun. If things go smoothly, we can have our first meeting on the 25th.
