(c/o LM) What The Hack is an outdoor hacker conference/event taking place on a large event-campground in the south of The Netherlands from 28 until 31 July 2005.
Events like What The Hack take place every four years, and originate from a group of people that was originally centered around a small hacker magazine called Hack-Tic. The magazine's last issue was published in 1993, but for reasons unknown the events have so far refused to die. 1989 Featured the Galactic Hacker Party, then in 1993 we saw Hacking at the End of the Universe, followed in 1997 by Hacking In Progress, and in 2001 there was Hackers At Large. ...but as of yesterday, the mayor of Boxtel, the municipality under which the location for 'What The Hack' resides, seems to be refusing a permit for the gathering, citing a "grave fear that the organisation of this event will endanger law and order as well as public safety" despite the fact that previous instances of this event have seen no incidents of any kind.
