Hacking at Random
Encyclopedia
Hacking at Random was an outdoor hacker conference that took place in The Netherlands from August 13 to August 16, 2009.
It was situated on a large camp-site near the small town Vierhouten in The Netherlands called the Paasheuvel. Which is, like former events, in the middle of nowhere.
This conference was the most recent event in a sequence that began with the Galactic Hacker Party in 1989, followed by Hacking at the End of the Universe in 1993, Hacking In Progress in 1997, Hackers At Large in 2001, and What the Hack
in 2005. Like these well-known predecessors, Hacking at Random was one of the most important hacker conventions of the year, bringing together hackers and techno-enthusiasts from all over the world. But, unlike its predecessors, HAR was not a project by exactly the same people as before : there were new people involved in the organization process.
Like the previous Dutch hacker cons
this event thrived by using its volunteers, and called everyone including the visitor sponsors a volunteer. Everyone was expected to do their part in making the event a success.
With over 170 talks and 3 large lecture halls, this edition was by far the largest in the series of quadrennial Dutch events.
