What The hack
What The Hack - 08.04.2005 11:48

"What The Hack?" (WTH) is a large hacker's festival. Common themes are freedom of speech, government transparency, computer insecurity, privacy, open software, open standards & software patents and community networking. Another focus has to do with independent media and networking in crisis areas and so called developing countries.

"What The Hack?" (WTH) is a large hacker's festival been organized ( http://www.whatthehack.org). WTH is part of a interesting series of events held every four years in The Netherlands. The events are known as a great opportunity to meet others working on the same things. It started with "The Galactic Hacker Party", also known as the "International Conference on the Alternative use of Technology, Amsterdam". Since then the festival moved outdoors, and the next three editions were held on a large field. The last edition was visited by nearly 3000 people. Hackers enjoy exploring the details and capabilities of tech-systems or engage with technology on the basis of a do-it- yourself philosophy. Contrary to popular misconception hackers do not, by definition, break into systems.

The festival will be taking place between July 28th and 31th July, 2005 in a camp near Den Bosch, The Netherlands. Common themes are freedom of speech, government transparency, computer insecurity, privacy, open software, open standards & software patents and community networking.

Call for presentations and workshops

Another focus has to do with independent media and networking in crisis areas and so called developing countries, which goals and objectives are:

** Bringing together and building links between technical people of different backgrounds and countries. Involve young professionals from Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa in this broad
international event. Creating opportunities for hackers to think about how they can help in the distribution of technology, support independent media and so on.

** Show projects on the forefront of creative network development and use of new media.

** Share practical knowledge, skills and experiences in wireless
technology, open spectrum, open technologies and free software.

** Make use of the power of a large group of technical people. One idea is setting up a meshing experiment. Meshing is a way to self-organize wireless networks. Up till now, nobody really knows how well it scales to lots of users. A massive mesh experiment using thousands of laptops on the camp can give some answers. If necessary, it's a challenge to try to improve the Wifi protocol so that it will scale.

** Discuss global topics like Open Access/Content issues, freedom of speech or Internet Governance.

We hebben niet allemaal rijke ouders hoor....

Why is it so expensive?

If you're at What The Hack you'll notice there's lots of space, many places to sit down and relax, and lots of things to do. In fact: the cost structure of an event like What The Hack isn't all that different from a rock festival that caters to tens of thousands of people. What The Hack is organized by a non-profit foundation.

Nice...

All very nice, the huge space and stuff, but there won't be any chance that I can afford 160 euro, not even half of it. My monthly income is 200 euro, and I need to eat too. And I'm very sure I'm not the only one. So maybe it was simply a better idea to keep it a little smaller than bringing up the price that high.
4 dagen sprekers voor 150 euro? 
spruitje - 15.07.2005 01:35

? dat is een vol programma voor nog geen 40 euro per dag... geen slechte prijs vind ik.
