- We CAN be there, and we will
- We will have flyers ready for people
- We'll be telling people about the BUILDS room
- We'll have things going on in BUILDS

CSAW Qualification Round:
- Run by NYU Poly, as part of Cyber-Security Awareness Week
- Happens Sept 19-Sept 22
- This is a great CTF for people who don't know too much about CTFs but are curious
- On Friday, Sept 13th, Danny will be doing a very introductory Linux/Python/etc tutorial
- On Saturday Sept 14th, Allan's running a primer of sorts, for people who want to know about security


We have a new website!
- It's a lot nicer than the old one
- You can find upcoming events there, on the calendar
- We want more content for the website
- Cool things you've done for projects are welcome
- Events should definitely be there

We have a new MAILING LIST
- New people should subscribe to the NEW list
- We're using GNU mailman
- This makes subscription easier
- This makes unsubscription easier too!
- This also allows people to view archives online
- For now, we'll occasionally send emails to the old list, but it is now deprecated

Boston Key Party CTF Report
- This is the first time we've hosted on a CTF
- Collaboration with a few students at Northeastern
- They'll be here for CSAW too
- Great feedback from people who played it
- 112 teams played
- We plan to host this again this year, but we're not sure when yet
- Talk to Allan or George if you want to help out

Meeting structure
- Still 6:30 on Wednesdays
- They will generally NOT happen every week
- Weeks without meetings will have hack/work nights, without formal announcements
- Email reminders will be sent out for when meetings happen

Other things:
- HAMR (Hacking Audio and Music Research)
- About 30 people attended, including Kenshin
- It's happening again Sept 27-29th, in a quanit rural inn in New Hampshire
- Transportation available
- AI algorithms on music
- Yale's YHAC
- Very start-uppy
- November 8th-9th
- Reddit is visiting BU
- They can talk to us!
- We're currently talking to them about this, and hope to be involved
- Alessandro donated a PS3 to BUILDS
- It's in interesting shape (broken CD drive)
- Could be useful for computing
- Talk to Alessandro about PS3 hacking
- Please don't break the hardware any further
- Hack MIT
- October 4-6
- It's VERY full, but if anyone has a spot, tell us how it goes
