Nevertheless the hackathon will happen as scheduled, and we will continue to operate based on donations from the user community and other sources who continue to support the project. "As a result of the DARPA review of the project, and due to world events and the evolving threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states, the Government on April 21 advised the University to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of the project." (ie. the OpenBSD c2k3 hackathon) -- Jan Walker, (703) 696-2404, jwalker@darpa.mil Cheers, Viktor
