And wander out with our kit :)

Seriously: perhaps we should put some thought into physical security. 

I would also like there to be some ground rules laid down regarding LAN 
security including but certainly not limited to no uninvited access to 
people's machines beyond, say, the odd ping - we don't want portscans and 
vulnerability exploits to prove HaX0r skillz on fellow participants' precious 
kit, especially when a lot of this kit usually resides behind protective 
firewalls in comfy safe environments.

The basic tenet is "do as you would be done by" (I don't wanna be "done" by 
some script kiddie!) and the old classic "And it harmest none, do what thou 
wilt" - it is a party after all!

Regards,
Michael Erskine.
