Wow. What a weekend. Hopefully everybody that attended will be prepared
for the forthcoming alien invasion. Just in case you missed it, here are
a few links to pictures from the event.
PhreakNIC is an annual gathering in Nashville, TN, for hackers, makers,
security professionals, and general technology enthusiasts. Hours upon hours
of both informative and entertaining presentations are given by volunteers
and many areas are set up with the intent of encouraging socialization. In
our 11th year, we are now the longest running non-commercial hacker convention
in the United States.* PhreakNIC is organized by the Nashville 2600
Organization, which is a 501(c)(3) tax deductible charity. However, it takes
many resources to organize, and help is given to PhreakNIC by other 2600
groups in the South East United States, as well as the Nashville Linux Users
Group. Our thanks go out to all who contribute.
* According to our research. Summercon is older, but hasn't
always been in the US, so it doesn't count. Pumpcon is also possibly older,
but neither their site nor wikipedia have an archive to peruse.

Volunteer!
PhreakNIC is a conference put on not only for the hacker community, but

there is no way that PhreakNIC can be a success. We need help from people
in every area from checking badges to standing up in front of a crowd to give
a presentation. To volunteer, simply

Art Contest

Special Message for This Year
Some of you may remember a prediction from Decius about next year. With
that in mind, we will be using this year to prepare for the inevitable.
