A couple of the developers for the mp3-cms project met up at HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) this past weekend and we had a fantastic time. I wanted to run the mp3-cms on the HOPE network and give everyone there a chance to use it but we didn't have the resources to transport a server up to New York City and I was concerned that there might be some kind of copyright violation if I arrived in tow with a 100GB music collection running through our CMS available to everyone at the conference. We met several LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP) developers at the conference who expressed keen interest in looking into our project so perhaps that will get us a little closer to a Linux capable version.
The HOPE conference was great but I couldn't help but feeling that the vast majority of attendees were mere groupies or Law Enforcement as oppossed to real hackers. The MAKE, NYCResistor, and HacDC teams had impressive showings all weekend. For me personally my highlights were the Social Engineering, PenTesting with LiveCDs, Mitnik keynote, WikiScanner, and Laslow talks.
Here are some photos I took at the conference
