From the 10th till the 12th of August this year there will be
www.hal2001.org. I am going, after
missing the roaring success of the '97 event I do not want mis this
one. This might be a nice opportunity for some of us to meet each
other in the Netherlands.
It's hosted on the terains of the Technical University of Twente
(Enschede). Registration will cost you 68.07 Euro. Just visit their
site for most/all details. Some excerpt:
Between 10th and 12th August, thousands of hackers will populate the
green fields of the campus of the University of Twente, converting it
into a large doubleplus-extrawired campsite. When not visiting
lectures or workshops, we'll be engaged in technical or political
discussions, or maybe just relaxing somewhere in the grass. But
whatever we do, and whatever the topic of discussion, HAL 2001 is
above all a hackers' event and NOT a LAN party! If you're looking for
one, please visit CampZone.
This is the fourth in a series that has been running every four years
since 1989. Many of the participants at "The Galactic Hacker Party"
(1989), "Hacking at the End of the Universe" (1993) and "Hacking in
Progress" (1997) have been instrumental in bringing about the changes
that are upon us today.
If you can truly celebrate the Internet and embrace new technologies,
without forgetting your responsibility to tell others that new
technologies come with new risks to the individual and to society as a
whole, then this is the place to be this summer. To be sure of an
entrance ticket, register now!
I would like to see some of you there...
