There are hackers on the other side of the pond too! This is a view of parts of the European hacker scene, especially that of Germany and the Netherlands. The Chaos Computer Club will be discussed along with other European hacker groups. You will learn about the major differences between the American and European hacker scene, see what the different lifestyles are like, and get a good look at some of the European hackers' nicest projects. There will also be details on upcoming European conferences which you are cordially invited to. After the presentation an open discussion will permit you to ask any questions about all of those fancy countries on the other side of the pond.
