Title: Let's go back r2con together

I already wrote an [article]({filename}/radare2/r2con.md) last year about the
[r2con](https://rada.re/con/2017/), and more specifically about why we should
go there together. The last (and first) edition was a success (albeit my love
of efficience and order was a bit tore apart by the Spanish way of organising
and hosting a conference, but it's ok, I improved my "I don't give a fuck about
this" and "let's relax" skills.), with 120 attendees, a [dedicated
poster]({static}/images/r2con.jpg), a [giant r2-themed
cake]({static}/images/r2cake.jpg), a talk given in Spanish by
[skuater](https://twitter.com/sanguinawer) which was super-great (I don't speak
Spanish very well at all, like almost half of the audience then, but we
still had a lot of fun, trying to understand each other, drawing, mimicking,
guessing what the other tried to convey), technical issues, awesome food,
unexpected encounters, a [GUI](https://github.com/hteso/iaito) anouncement,
stickers, surprising talks by surprising people (for example, there was a
biologist who explained how he's using radare2), …
This year, for the second edition, from September the 6th to the
9th, in Barcelona, again, there will be 2 days of trainings (and hackatons),
and then 2 days of talks. Speaking of trainings, last year's talk/training from
[Alexander 'dark_k3y' Bolshev](https://darkkey.github.io/) about reversing and exploiting tiny micro-controllers was awesome,
this is why he's doing an improved version this year: studying rop-chains for µC
is a bit mind-blowing. The [agenda](https://rada.re/con/2017/) is already online,
and it seems that this year, we'll have once again a vastly diverse set: from
the limits of the emulation capabilities of r2 to forensics, from complete
gameboy emulation to interfacing r2 with pretty much everything, …
Ho, and we'll have a [core-wars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War) this year,
running in radare2's emulator of course ;)
Contrary to last year, there are more people attending, so we might
finally be able to play [spot the feds](https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-15/dc-15-stf.html) together,
while drinking beers, on the rooftop, under the sun of Barcelona, while
devising about binary exploitation, reversing of stupid devices, and bitching
about the latest defcon ctf, because a 9 bits middle-endian CPU architecture is
always *fun* to implement in 24h.
See you there ♥
