| Just what is "The Phoenix Project?" | |
| Definition: Phoenix (fe/niks), n. A unique mythical bird of great beauty | |
| fabled to live 500 or 600 years, to burn itself to death, | |
| and to rise from its ashes in the freshness of youth, and | |
| live through another life cycle. | |
| Project (proj/ekt), n. Something that is contemplated, devised, | |
| or planned. A large or major undertaking. A long term | |
| assignment. | |

| Why is "The Phoenix Project?" | |
| On June 1, 1987 Metal Shop Private went down seemingly forever with no | |
| possible return in sight, but the ideals and the community that formed the | |
| famous center of learning lived on. On June 19-21, 1987 the phreak/hack world | |
| experienced SummerCon'87, an event that brought much of the community together | |
| whether physically appearing at the convention or in spirit. On July 22, 1987 | |
| the phreak/hack community was devastated by a nationwide attack from all forms | |
| of security and law enforcement agencies...thus setting in motion the end of | |
| the community as we knew it. Despite the events of July 22, 1987, PartyCon'87 | |
| was held on schedule on July 26-28, 1987 as the apparent final gathering of | |
| the continent's last remaining free hackers, unknown to them the world they | |
| sought to protect was already obliterated. As of August 1, 1987 all of the | |
| original members and staff of the Metal Shop Triad and Phrack Inc. had decided | |
| to bail out in the hopes that they could return one day when all would be as | |
| before... | |
| THAT DAY HAS COME... | |
| A new millennium is beginning and it all starts on July 22, 1988. How fitting | |
| that the One year anniversary of the destruction of the phreak/hack community | |
| should coincidentally serve as the day of its rebirth. | |
| Announcing SummerCon '88 in (where else would you expect) St. Louis, Missouri! | |
| Knowledge is the key to the future and it is FREE. The telecommunications and | |
| security industries can no longer withhold the right to learn, the right to | |
| explore, or the right to have knowledge. The new age is here and with the use | |
| of every *LEGAL* means available, the youth of today will be able to teach the | |
| youth of tomorrow. | |

| SummerCon'88 is a celebration of a new beginning. Preparations are currently | |
| underway to make this year's convention twice as fun as last year's and the | |
| greater the turnout the greater the convention shall be. No one is directly | |
| excluded from the festivities and the practice of passing illegal information | |
| is not a part of this convention (contrary to the opinions of the San | |
| Francisco Examiner, and they weren't even at the last one). Anyone interested | |
| in appearing at this year's convention should leave mail to Crimson Death | |
| immediately so we can better plan the convention for the correct amount of | |
| participants. | |
| The hotel rooms purchased for SummerCon'88 are for the specified use of | |
| invited guests and no one else. Any security consultants or members of law | |
| enforcement agencies that wish to attend should contact the organizing | |
| committee as soon as possible to obtain an invitation to the actual convention | |
| itself. | |
| Sorry for the short notice this year... | |
