Hey radare friends, 2020 is over, it's time for the vaccination and recovery!
So here we go again. Welcome to the 6th annual sacred event of r2con! 

r2con is the annual conference of radare2, aims to gather all of the r2 users on this planet (or other planets too in the future), where radare2 framework developers around the world come to enjoy three days full of binary hacking know-how, education, discussion, experiments, competition and coding, while we all can have fun and drink beers, sake or ratafia (safely at home).

Just like last year, it will be fully online and there's no venue restriction or price.

Schedule:
- Announcement: April 1st (not kidding, this is serious)
- When: September 2nd, 3rd and 4th
- Where: YouTube
- Topic: dev and uses of r2

In this year's event we accept:

- Lightning talks (5-10m)
- Presentations (30m or 1h)
- Workshops/Trainings (4-8h)
- Articles for the e-zine (plain text (ascii or utf8))

## R2Zine

Do you miss the good old ezines in plain txt full of ASCII art when the scene was actually a scene? Let's bring it back. This year we are also accepting articles for the ezine, presented talks are also welcome to provide a version in plain text for it.

## CFP

The call for papers for this year's edition is accepting the following formats, please read carefully and start preparing them! 

There's no need to give your real name, anonymous talks/posts/trainings are welcome! Sharing the knowledge is what matters, and in r2land we respect anonymity and privacy.

We wait for your submissions by email at r2con@radare.org

## Chiptune Concert

We can't share much details about the artists but we will be having an online free chiptune concert at the end of the conference so we can all enjoy and relax after all the hard work!


See you soon in r2land!
