H1kar1 sez, "We're throwing the first US hacker camp in a decommissioned Titan-1 Missile Silo. A bunch of awesome pictures of the site have just been posted from our visits over the past couple weeks. CFP and campsite organizer sign up form still open and looking for people to participate!"

Looks like the site has been hacked?? I'm getting page errors in the main linked page.

Perhaps it would be fully booked if the logo didn't look like it said 'toolcamp'. As in, 'you're a tool if you sign up for this camp'.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the silo is mostly if not at all flooded. If so, it's only the second Titan site I've seen that's accessible, mostly intact and dry. Impressive!

Maybe not the "first US hacker camp," but probably "the first US hacker camp in a decommissioned Titan-1 Missile Silo."
