A ver, gente de #Bilbao y cercanías - a quién le interesa la idea de encuentros mensuales tipo #2600 o Defcon? Me niego a creer que soy la única persona por aquí interesada.
Physical copies of “2600: The Hacker Quarterly” are hard to come by. But, if you’re ever in Ottawa you can pick up a copy at “Globe Mags & Cigars” located at 57 William St.
I've been adding to my collection recently.
If you're Canadian and want a peek into the digital underground, the only in person meetings are in Calgary.
Hackers, crackers, geeks, hats of any colour, technology enthusiasts, hacktivists, and other like-minded folks are most welcome. We do not judge anyone and everyone has something to contribute, no matter their level of expertise.

The enshittification of email has led to their announcement emails getting filed to spam by Google etc al. (We run our own mailserver and have been wrestling with this for years, but at least our livelihoods don't depend on it!)
But after the 2018 HOPE, the Hotel Pennsylvania was demolished to make way for the Penn15 (no, really) skyscraper, a vaporware mega-tower planned as a holding pen for luxury shopping and empty million-dollar condos sold to offshore war-criminals as safe-deposit boxes in the sky. The developer, Vornado (no, really) hasn't actually done all that – after demo'ing the Hotel Pennsylvania, they noped out, leave a large, unusable scar across midtown.
It's been 40 years since #EmmanuelGoldstein launched the seminal, essential, world-changing @2600: The #Hacker Quarterly. 2600 wasn't the first #phreak/hacker zine, but it was the most important, spawning a global subculture dedicated to the noble pursuit of technological self-determination:

Back in the early 2000s someone bought a domain name like FuckFord.com or FuckChevy.com and had it redirect to the other company's webpage. The @eff (I think) had an online fundraising campaign to raise money for the defendent.* For $250, I supported a landmark case for #FreeSpeech, got two #2600 t-shirts and a lifetime subscription #2600.
I still have every issue I ever received for my lifetime subscription.

Glasgow 2600 meetings are similar to those held around the world. Hackers, crackers, geeks, hats of any colour, technology enthusiasts, hacktivists, and other like-minded folks are most welcome. We do not judge anyone and everyone has something to contribute, no matter their level of expertise.
