Does anyone know how I can purchase a copy of the Security session notes from the Vegas DECUS? They ran out at the DECUS Bookstore there and the guy at the desk told me that it would NOT be possible to get them after the symposium. Somehow, I doubt that this is true.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I attended several of the sessions but did not take very extensive notes of my own as I was counting on being able to purchase them.

You really ought to hit return once in a while while typing in a post.. They were correct, current DECUS is not set up to be able to provide session notes after the symposium. There is some work being done towards this goal, but it takes time to do these things. If you were counting on being able to purchase them then you should have done so before the last minute. The DECUS store has a policy of session notes NOT running out, if purchased before about midday Wednesday. For the people that tried to buy them on wed. as they ran out, they issued coupons, and then reprinted them (at great cost) via a printer in Vegas. Your alternatives are fairly limited. You can try to find someone near you that has a copy of them that might be willing to let you copy them. You could contact the steering committee of the security sig and see if they might be able to arrange for you to pay to make another copy. (at some point their session note editor will get the masters back; this depends on them keeping them, and having the time in their normal day-today jobs to be able to do it for you). I'm not certainly of the copyright status of the session notes, and whether technically either of the above is legal; contact a copyright lawyer or the DECUS office to be sure; if you're sued, it's not my fault.
