[luau] 802.11 Security Workshop - Nov 20

[R.Scott Belford]

I think that the chance to learn is a good thing.  We do have an 
unposted list policy against commercial solicitation, which this seemed 
to be.  It does beg the question, though, about my own emails regarding 
HOSEF which, I sometimes fear, border on spam.  I justify it because it 
is a charitable non-profit promoting Open Source, but ....

Once I followed the link to this workshop, I will say that I was 
dismayed by the self-promotion of the speaker and the heavy corporate 
sponsorship.  They really don't need our donated bandwidth and 
equipment for their promotion, do they?
