[[ RFP's note: multiple (all?) moderators from VulnWatch will be present
   at CanSecWest; the conference is always a great time and I suggest
   everyone that can make it to try to do so. New vulnerability
   announcements are likely. ;) ]]

(dr notes: hotel availability seems to be becoming an issue
particularly for Fri. May 3. Some people have been having
issues getting into the "CanSecWest" block when they call
out of core business hours at the hotel, and get routed to
the call center. The call center also lists it under
"dursec.com" depending on who you reach apparently.
Call 1 800 663 9255 between 9-5 PST is the recommendation.
At the time of this writing rooms in the block were still
available, but rates are scheduled to rise and availability
is limited. In case of difficulties e-mail core02cansecwest.com
for a list of other alternate hotels downtown within a
short walking distance from the conference hotel.)
