The speaker lineup at POSSCON is world-class.
POSSCON turned out to be a great event. Big thanks to Jeffrey Hammond, Lee Congdon, Mark Anzani and Deb Bryant for a great AM of panel discussion
Thanks to Matt Asay for moderating our panel at POSSCON. Well worth the trip to South Carolina. Great regional event.
The synergy between developers, business people, and teachers makes POSSCON pretty unique, I haven't really seen this anywhere else.
It was very nicely run and I think you did a bang-up job. You should all be proud of what you did.
This is like nothing you've ever seen before. You can look at the pictures, you can watch the videos... but just like a concert, you have to be there.

Cyber attacks represent one of the most serious economic and national security threats facing our nation. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is charged with securing federal civilian networks and safeguarding critical infrastructure on which we all depend. The DHS Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) pursues this through the research, development, test, evaluation and transition of cyber security technologies. DHS S&T recognizes open source software is a valuable component in the comprehensive strategy to protect federal, state and local government technology systems and assets. Dr. Douglas Maughan of the DHS S&T Cyber Security Division will discuss how open source software fits into the federal cybersecurity strategy and highlight the Homeland Open Security Technology (HOST) program which leverages open source programs and methodologies to support national cybersecurity objectives.
