Monday and Tuesday are EVT 2008, the workshop on Electronic Voting Technology. Here's what we'll be talking about; i'm looking forward to it.
Debra Bowen, the California Secretary of State, kicks off the main security conference on Wednesday with a keynote address entitled "Dr. Strangevote or: How I Learned to Stop Worry and Love the Paper Ballot". That'll probably be fun. Nadia's paper is being presented later that day.
Voting continues to be a major topic in the computer security world. Despite having its own workshop and being featured in the keynote address, there is also a session of voting-related papers at the main conference on Friday.
It's a bit weird being here with nothing to present, and no longer the academic but merely a hanger-on-of-academics. Seeing everyone here will, no doubt, remind me how much i miss the freedom of academia and the networks of people i know from graduate school. Oh, well... i can't be both full-time in academia and full-time in industry at the same time; i had to make a choice. We'll see how it works out.
