Presented at
The Next HOPE (2010),
July 17, 2010, 10 p.m.
(60 minutes).
In this panel, longtime attendees and website admins of New York City’s 2600 meeting will explain how an event that began in the 1980s as a simple way for local hackers to meet each other in person has grown into a major and vital part of the worldwide hacker community. The panel will recap the history of 2600 meetings, and explain the basics for those interested in getting involved with an existing meeting or starting a new one. Issues involved in operating a 2600 meeting’s web presence will also be addressed. There will most certainly be a recounting of some favorite meeting stories and experiences, and the lasting effects the meetings have had on all sorts of lives.
