I've seen a good deal of users from US (or so they say :) ). I was wondering how many of those are actually around the Bay Area, might be nice to get together and meet some enthusiastic reverse engineering minds. Anybody?
Ero.
Sounds like fun.
A couple years ago when Chris Eagle gave his x86emu demo at CodeCon in San Francisco, a number of IDA users met up there. I think there are quite a number of us in the Bay Area.

When the number of registered users increases I plan on including some graphs on the users page showing the demographics of where everyone comes from.
If there is interest, I can take that one step further by adding a more specific location field to the user profile and then tying it into Google maps.

Yup, I'd like to do a Northern California IDA Pro Users Group. I just haven't bothered to see what kind of cute acronyms can be made from that yet.
I want us to all get in a room for a day with a couple of reversing assignments, and I'm going to watch over your shoulders while you use IDA Pro, and I'll go "Wait! What did you do there!"
Seriously, I'd like to do one day per quarter year, move it around a little. I'm near San Francisco. I think JCR is South Bay. I believe Chris is near Monterey. Matt is somewhere between South Bay and Santa Cruz, I think.

I'm from Chambersburg, PA but I'm moving to San Diego for work. I was, just today, thinking about what I'd like to get together, and what immediatly came to mind was a Reverse-Engineering conference or a reverse-engineering group. I don't know whether San Francisco or San Diego would be better for this, but obviously I'd be more inclined to lean towards SD since I'll be there hehe.
If anyone has any input on either of these, interested or not, let me know.

daeken,
Formal conferences with their high price of admission, lodging and travel are tough on individuals (i.e. those who are paying out of our own pockets). Inexpensive, informal meets like CodeCon bring out a lot more people.
Ryan,
I'm roughly in the same place as Matt, in the hills South of Los Gatos and North of Santa Cruz.
If we need a variety uncommon systems/archs for compilation, testing or whatever, the collection in my garage is vast and I have a truck. ;-)

I'm in downtown San Jose, I am San Francisco every weekend. I think we should try to arrange somthing. We could start with something very informal first, some sort of dinner.
I like how the BayPiggies Python group works, they have two alternate meeting places, meets every month and the discussion goes around whatever interesting projects people is working on. I think something along the lines would be cool. Maybe introducing tools that some are not familiar with and any other brainstormings...

Hi, I am living in San Jose but work in Santa Clara. Having a reverse party seems to be a cool idea.
|
The Google map idea I brought up earlier has been implemented. You can add your geo coordinates under "Edit Profile". The XML file that drives the map is generated on a daily basis. Once re-generated, you should seen your marker on the map available in the "Users" section.
I've already made an announcement regarding this feature but want to draw extra attention to it as I'd like to see that map fill up.
|
The map feature is cool, thanks. I can't reply under that topic, so I'm doing so here.
It works in Firefox, but not IE. Is that a feature? It displays it, and then says it can't find it. If you click OK, it then goes to the "can't find it" page.
We need more people to put in their location. I'm truly surprised that all the hackers don't want to put in their coordinates to 6 decimal digits. :)
|
I don't know why IE is misbehaving. I looked into it but gave up after a few minutes. IE isn't worth more debugging time then that.
The feature definetely isn't that cool without an abundance of data points. Hopefully it will pick up.

hi, just found this site today and hope I can still catch you guys. I'm very near to San Jose.
|
Hi Afei,
We are all still around but no meet-up has been organized yet. Maybe someday it will happen. ;-)
