I'm Paul from Taiwan and today I'm here for the big debcon for 18s for Taiwan And let me introduce you to Taiwan. It's here. It's a small island. So let's look closer So we're here and we're not China Korea or Japan or Hong Kong, right? so it's just around us and Taipei is a modern convenient safe city How convenient it is. So We say it is safe working outside even at midnight. It's that kind of safe and Convenience stores are mostly open 24 hours. So you can buy food or drinks anytime And also many direct rise from from anywhere to Taipei including this These airports. So what's good in Taiwan? Basically food, right? And food and more food. Yeah, because we present our culture by food. So when you eat the food you can sense our cultures And what's also good in Taiwan? So for example, it's our tallest building in Taiwan, right? And The IT industry is very good in Taiwan. So you can see that we have our friends company here The Google and Canonico is also have always in the in the Taipei-1-1 building And also the local transportation is very high density. So you can go everywhere by just by the MRT for example You can use it. EZ card is a MiFail card, the widely counted card So you can buy a card and take the bus or MRT or train to anywhere and also the high speed railways You can just go to the south part of Taiwan less than two hours and the network is also very cheap for example for 15 US dollars for 10 days for unlimited usage and also the free Wi-Fi is also have Good coverage in the city But you know the Wi-Fi you have to stay in a spotter to use that you cannot it's not more mobile so you have to stay in your place and This is our Okay, I have saved time. So I just show some pictures of Taiwan and all this place can be Go from the MRT. So it's really near and The city ruined cable car and you can drink some Chinese tea in Just just taking the MRT in Taipei and also this is a this is also a good place And if you look into the pictures, you see along the roadside there's food stand everywhere So that's why food is so good see okay, so If you have any questions you can contact us in the we have the IRC channel and my name is Paul Liu and Also the same name on the IRC and you can also send me mails if you want to contact me And we will also have a good team on this currently building the Preparing the bid Yeah, thank you. Okay Yeah, I'm looking for the universities in Taipei. So basically universities because of the price Okay, and maybe a second question. Do you have any idea about dates? Which part of the year would you? We want to do that in June because in May is humid and rainy, but in July and August is typhoon so the song strong wings. So it's not good, right? So The the best best time is June More on Taipei and for instance the venue option like one that's currently being investigated is here and We also answered the question about the potential dates down here. So if there are any If you have interest and please go and answer the wiki and or develop questions from there Oh Visas is almost like if I met many European countries and USA countries the the visas waiver, so you don't need any visa and Yeah, just this here and also the Okay, so also some Asian country. We have 30 days for the without visa. Yes, that's it I Have a question about how many people are in the team? 34 I'm trying to build a team more larger. Okay. Thank you. Okay, and now I I'm standing up here And not because you have to be afraid that I'll organize another DEF CON but But Because I'm not a Member of the DEF CON committee the bit decision team I can I was approached by the Prague people who can't be here to present their bid so Even though Taipei would be the first DEF CON in Asia and as such that's fantastic. Thank you very much for For coming forth to that idea and we're just not gonna make it as easy for you so there's competition Prague ran last year already, but Montreal was selected so they stood up again and are doing it again. I'm not going to mention the EU joke on here So Prague a lot of people have been there a lot of people have definitely heard about it It's a very beautiful city in the heart of Europe. It is the cradle of the first university as far as I can tell It has a big international airport with connections direct connections pretty much from anywhere else in the world and I as I I suspect a lot of DEF CON first will also travel there by train or bus because that by itself is already a an adventure There are venue options multiple ones being looked at we had one for 17 and that needs to be renegotiated because the dean of the university changed, but that's always an opportunity as well, isn't it? And then of course in terms of leisure options what to do when we're not working hard at the venue Then there's the historic city many parks the Prague zoo excellent public transport and curiously I don't know why Andre sent me these slides today last year He specifically mentioned beer about 50 times during these five so yeah So there's no beer in there Yeah, he has one picture like of Prague, you know And then he has a picture another one and then he has a picture of the zoo which is the fourth best zoo of the world Well, that's a great day trip option, so Just imagine that you see beer here, and I talked to Andre earlier on He's rounding up the team again. They Are prepared and committed to improve upon the bids that they have made last year and so by The bid deadline we expect to have a very competitive So suggestion for deptcon 18 in the Czech Republic and that concludes this presentation Are there any questions that I hope I can answer a proxy? No, there's not gonna be any beer Help I Can't answer that question, but I'm happy to relay it to the team. Well. Thank you very much then now did he would like your attention I don't have any slides, but I'm just a small reminder for all the teams That we would like to present something for that conf 18 about what the process exactly is So as you might have been made aware by the previous deaf con You're supposed to build a team Gather all information you can and prepare that all of that on the depth conf wiki you can Ask for a mailing list either on that comfort everyone infrastructure if you need that to coordinate your work The deadline to get the bids is the 1st of December of this year and you're highly encouraged to Join the existing that conflicts that conf team At least the depth conf.org Ask for assistance or feedback and or feedback on your bid and make sure your bid is actually really really super good the 1st of December and then We will have some into some interactions with your team to Enhance your bid wherever possible, and then we will try the depth conf committee will try to get the decision done around Somewhere in February so we will announce the Precise schedule when we have it, but that's roughly the thing So to recap get everything ready for 1st of December get involved Talk to people that have been organizing this that comes the next that comes get involved in Montreal With the Montreal beat to see how they work and if possible be part of the local team next year And that's it Are there any questions? All of that looks so simple when we say it like that, but No questions Sorry, it is nice to get the depth conf organized No, I think it's it's very Yeah, it's very cool to host the depth conf. It's energy consuming certainly, but it's really cool So if you can organize one in your country, it's apparently time for penguins
