Ange Albertini Binary Poster Workshop

DEFCON Switzerland was founded in 2008. Its aim is to give users (experienced and others) a platform to exchange thoughts and ideas about information security. The exchange of information has two goals:transfer knowledge in the information security domain,to sensitize users to information security.In order to achieve this goal DEFCON Switzerland will organize local, regional an national events. The largest national event organized by DEFCON Switzerland are the hashdays and now the area41 - an international security conference. Furthermore members of the association have access to a forum where they can discuss, exchange ideas, take part on projects or find people to launch new projects.DEFCON Switzerland is not a bar in the Futurama television series (Matt Groening), neither a video game nor the Defense Condition of the U.S. military. DEFCON Switzerland is registered withDEFCON hacker convention in Las Vegas asDEFCON Group (DC4131). The association is open for everyone, not only geeks, nerds, hackers or other unexplored species.

Ange Albertini, author of <A HREF="https://code.google.com/archive/p/corkami/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="https://code.google.com/archive/p/corkami/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://code.google.com/archive/p/corkami/</A>, will teach us in drawing with inkscape and designing a binary poster. If you haven't seen his posters yet, you should definitely check them out at <A HREF="https://github.com/corkami/pics" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="https://github.com/corkami/pics" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/corkami/pics</A>. But he will not only teach you how to create such binary posters yourself, it will basically introduce you to handy skills like - convert pictures you've taken of a whiteboard to a clean picture (for when you need to run out of a meeting and want to nicely transform that picture you took in a hurry to something usable) - convert a bitmap to a vector (for when you want to decorate your slides when no nice picture is elsewhere found or when you want to put your favorite picture on a tshirt or sticker) - quickly convert charts to vector (for when you want to quote an external blog in your slides or paper and all you have is an ugly JPG) - import, edit and re-export PDF drawings (for when you want to quote a picture or chart from a PDF article but with some specific improvements and keep it as a vector to re-include it in your article) - draw an outline of something (for when you want to add a picture to a paper, but its quality is very poor) 
 
Requirements: bring a laptop with inkscape and gimp installed, a mouse (if you prefer working with an external mouse) and an idea of something to draw. 
The costs are for renting the room, cover some drinks, and food for lunch.
