Re: Anybody have the link for "How to Write Snort Rules" Webinar?

[Mike Guiterman <mike.guiterman () sourcefire com>]

We'll get the slides download fixed - thanks for letting us know.

The Snort.org privacy policy is here:  
http://www.snort.org/about_snort/legal/privacy.html

While we know it's frustrating, we require registration for certain 
content primarily for planning purposes.  The information you provide at 
registration helps us to:

    * Plan where Sourcefire's Education team conducts classroom training
      for Snort
    * Determine what type of content and time of day for programs such
      as these web casts.  For instance, If we see a large number of
      west coast or Non-US users are registering to watch recordings
      instead of joining the live session we can plan to conduct web
      casts at different times or over multiple sessions to give more of
      you the opportunity to join live so you can get in on Q&A.
    * Resource planning - when we saw the registration numbers for the
      February Web Cast, we had to upgrade our WebEX account and change
      the format so everyone who registered could watch the live event

Sourcefire does not use these registrations for marketing.  The only 
time Sourcefire sends direct emails to individual Snort users is when 
you've opted in for certain communications including webinars, training 
information, rules information or updates on Sourcefire products.   You 
can check your opt in status under user preferences on Snort.org.  These 
lists are much more effective for getting you access to the content you 
want, attendance at live webinars is 10X higher when we email the event 
information to opt-in lists vs. posting only to the snort-devel and 
snort-users mailing lists

In the future, and hopefully sooner rather than later, we'll be 
upgrading Snort.org to make this easier for you.  In the mean time, we 
moved this to Sourcefire.com so you'd only have to register one time for 
access to the webinar archives. 

I hope this answers your question.
