This event series has a great long history in Europe. It all started with "The Galactic Hacker Party" in 1989, followed by "Hacking at the End of the Universe" in 1993, "Hacking In Progress" in 1997 and later "Hackers At Large" in 2001, and "What the Hack" in 2005 - the previous one was called Hacking At Random and was held in 2009. They are all held in The Netherlands - with four years in between each event. They us…

These events draw hackers from all over Europe. It would also be good to point out that they owe a ton to Rop Gonggrijp, co-founder of the dutch ISP xs4all (one of the first ISPs in the world) and his publication hack-tic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rop_Gonggrijp

Mainly from all over Europe, but like any gathering - from all over the World ;-)

There is a related event held in Germany, also every fourth year - but amusingly two years apart from the event in The Netherlands by the Chaos Computing Club.

I can say it's like UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup for Football (Soccer) :D

Additionally, in between the Dutch and German hacker camps, meaning every 2 years, there is EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) in the UK.

I like the pricing options at https://tickets.ohm2013.org/ : 250 - Overpriced ticket 180 - Normal ticket 125 - Budget ticket from which you can choose your own price.

"Can I buy a budget ticket? The budget ticket is an experiment, calling on common-sense of all potential attendees. The goal is a more fair distribution of discounted tickets, instead of the arbitrary distribution based on the moment a ticket is sold. There are no income-checks, instead the experiment relies on the fairness of the individual. Those considering the budget option should really consider carefully: "Can I really not afford the normal ticket, or am I taking the chance for some of my fellow hackers for attending by just being cheap?". A tough call, but do remember: there is only a set percentage and each budget ticket sold means there is one less in the overall pool."

Seriously considering going (with a normal ticket :)).

Dutch hackers and entrepreneurs may also be interested in the Startup Weekend in Veenendaal in June: http://veenendaal.startupweekend.org/ Not trying to hijack -- it's just great to see these events where I live.

I honestly didn't expect to see my hometown on HN! Checking it out right now, very cool.

Actually, for many years in between the Dutch and German hacker camps, meaning every 2 years, there is Eth0 in the north of the Netherlands. http://eth0.nl/ They have a yearly 'winterlan' weekend as well.
