  The Nashville2600

The Nashville 2600's Mission Statement reads:
"To act as a support group to the Middle Tennessee community of intellectually curious persons without regard to race, gender, age, economic status or sexual preference."

The Nashville 2600 group has been around since the 1990s, and became a formal Tennessee nonprofit organization in 2004, with a goal of educating the public on various aspects of cyberculture and technical literacy. Support for the nonprofit has come from both personal networking at monthly meetings, and a formal educational conference held each year, usually in October or November, known as PhreakNIC. Before the formation of the nonprofit, PhreakNIC, founded in 1997, was run by volunteer members of the se2600 community. Today it is the primary project of the Nashville 2600 organization.`
