No plans for the summer yet? Sign up for SHA2017! https://sha2017.org/call-for-participation

Although the main focus is digital hacking and security, any type of hacking is represented at these camps. Biology is rapidly becoming digital anyway. So let's create a biohack camp too. For example, during the previous edition in 2013 we did some DNA fingerprint hacking. Perhaps it's time for a revisit?

Here's some more info for those of you that prefer scrolling over clicking:

SHA2017 is a five-day international outdoor technology and security conference in the Netherlands from the 4th till the 8th of August 2017. We are calling for participation in the form of talks, workshops, installations, volunteers, and more

A motley bunch of around 5000 hackers, free-thinkers, philosophers, activists, geeks, scientists, artists, makers, creative minds, and others will convene from all over the world to contemplate, reflect, share, discuss, criticise, look ahead, code, build, and more.

The location is the Scoutinglandgoed in Zeewolde, 55km east of Amsterdam. SHA2017 is a non-commercial, self-organised community event; attending the event means that you are also volunteering to help us make it happen.

SHA2017 is the 8th edition in a proud lineage. The seed for these events sprouted from the late 1980s hacker community embodied by ‘Hippies from Hell’ and the journal for techno-anarchists ‘Hack-tic’.

In 1989 the Galactic Hacker Party was held at Paradiso, a public forum in Amsterdam. This indoor event brought together pioneers at the frontiers of the internet to revel in the upcoming revolution, but also to be critical of the power structures governing the nascent internet and its impact on society.

In 1993, four years later, Hacking at the End of the Universe was the first open-air event in the series. Several hundred hackers set up camp in the outdoors. While the internet was not something people had at home, the whole campsite was already connected.

The landscape has changed dramatically; at the same time, a lot of what was at stake in 1989 remains at stake.
