Proposed Ideas for Project Brainwash
DefCon 17 Newbie Track

One of the main discussions going on is whether we'll be doing one track or two. They both have advantages and disadvanteges associated with them. Being the first year for this project, the concern is that there may not be enough interest to warrant two seperate tracks. Further having two seperate tracks may mean that some attendees may miss out on certain talks that are running at the same time as others. Conversely the multitude of information to be presented may not adequetly fit in one single track. The thought of having a "DefCon specific" track as well as a "General Hacking" track is a very attractive proposition as it allows us spread out more and helps with the time factor.

Proposed Topics
