Please join me in thanking the folks that have put up FC2010/2: Nicolas Collery from the Singapore Chapter and Guillaume Arcas from the French Chapter. Coming up with a great challenge that is both interesting and educational requires a lot of dedication and hard work. Nicolas and Guillaume have put in a lot of effort in the last few weeks and through most of the weekend to make this challenge a success. Thank you!
Josh Smith and Matt Cote (RIT chapter), Angelo Dell’Aera (Italian chapter) and Nicolas Collery (Signapore chapter) are finalizing the third forensic challenge, which will be posted in the next few days.

Thanks again – looking forward to a successful and active challenge 3.
