I got back from New York just a few days ago after having attended The Next HOPE and paid a visit to the city, and finally got around to uploading it to a few people and then to an online video service--with that said, YouTube sucks for not allowing videos longer than ten minutes.
You can grab a torrent of the talk via Hat Torrents by clicking here.
Overall, I thought that the talk went fine and the reception was rather positive. I got to meet a few people after the talk who were around for other Olympic years and it seems that a lot of what I came across were repeat mistakes from other events. I do plan to speak at other conferences about an upcoming project that I will be working on with a few other people.
There were a number of mistakes and errors that I made during this talk and I also found that I had trailed off from the notes I had prepared too. However, if you guys want a copy of the slides, you may download them as a PDF (6.8 MB).
I will be presenting an observation of the 2010 Winter Olympics at the upcoming Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in New York City on Friday, July 16th.
As per the abstract:
"Brilliants Exploits" - A Look at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics
With the 2010 Winter Olympics having come and gone, it's not too late to look back at what an event it was. From a technology standpoint, CCTV cameras and ticket sales will be looked at, and from a social standpoint, matters involving intellectual property as well as the police will be examined.
A few of us did some research on the CCTV camera network prior to the Olympics and I am also giving an overview of the flaws in the ticket system that was used.
You'll find my presentation on the Lovelace track on Friday at 17:00h. A copy of the presentation will be posted here once I return to Vancouver.
