HOPE Conference Gets Wozniak, Mitnick, Biafra

Posted by simoniker on from the exotic-naming-conventions dept.

Emmanuel Goldstein writes "We've gone through all of our submissions, and selected nearly 70 talks and panels for the next HOPE conference in New York City, to be held from July 9th-11th. We have Steve Wozniak, Kevin Mitnick, and Jello Biafra as keynotes, and many more interesting talks and seminars, plus a round the clock hacker movie room and a lockpicking workshop." The official website explains: " This is a conference by, for, and about hackers on as many levels as we can come up with, ranging from the highly technical to the down to earth, from computers to phones, from serious to hilarious. And our doors are open to anyone interested in what the hacker world has to say." We previously ran a story on this conference a couple of months back, before full speaker details were available.

    Sorry, just the idea of Woz as the opening act for the Dead Kennedys puts a smile on my face.

    I would expect that with a lock picking workshop.
