Listen Online To Last HOPE Conference

Radio Statler! writes "This weekend marks 2600's last Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. For those of you that can't make it this weekend, Radio Statler! will be streaming live from the event the whole weekend. There will be simulcasted talks, interviews with speakers and important guests, and music 24 hours a day for the duration of the con. Listeners can request music or submit questions by phone or IRC." The conference schedule (PDF) is available if you're curious about a particular seminar, though not all of them will be broadcast. CNet will be running some related stories about presentations from the conference. So far, they've written about a hacking how-to presentation. We briefly discussed the seventh and final HOPE conference last month.

Not going to be there....

Wish I could be... hopefully this will not actually be the final HOPE conference.

There will probably be a new HOPE at some point

Probably about 3 years or so before the empire strikes back.

Didn't go

Not enough con sex last time.

Sorry

[KasperMeerts]

Am I a bad geek for not knowing what this is all about?

Re:

[SanityInAnarchy]

Apparently stands for "Hackers On Planet Earth."

Re:

[GXTi]

Perhaps, but I'm puzzled too -- the least the submitter could have done is allocated half a sentence to informing the blissfully ignorant such as ourselves.

Re:Sorry

[ricebowl]

Your geek-card may be reissued as 'provisional,' but no, you're not bad ;) HOPE, as noted is the 'Hackers on Planet Earth, held I think in New York by the 2600 [2600.com] crew at, from reading 2600 quarterly, the HOtel PEnnsylvania in New York. The reason it's the last HOPE is because the Hotel they've used for the past 6 years (HOPEs 1-6) is about to be either redeveloped or demolished. I'm not sure which.

This might be the last HOPE, but there's no certainty it'll be the last 2600 get-together/conference. Here's hoping anyway.

Re:Sorry

[ricebowl]

My bad, it's a biennial conference, so...I guess that'd be last 12 years or so. The wiki, if you've not gone there already is over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.O.P.E. [wikipedia.org].

Re:

[Walter Carver]

Why didn't they arange a meeting in another Hotel, so that this will not be the last Hope?

Re:

[mightyQuin]

Pretty bad dude. I'm a female and Canadian. I've heard of it.

Re:

[byolinux]

I've met females from Canada at HOPE! Apparently some people just don't read.

Dissapointed

[cleatsupkeep]

I'm disappointed they changed the date from the conference from 2007. I needed an excuse to use that time machine I bought :-(.

They're not multicasting it as well? Damn. Thanks for the stream info, tho.

Re:

[derblack]

Thx 4 the streams.. I guess I'll have to stay up a little longer tonight... we're 6 hours ahead here. Video would be nice aswell, but I'm not complaining. I do wish I was there though...

Re:

[double-oh three]

Video will be available after the conference, probably for money. The radio station's operating off donated bandwidth, and we have nowhere near enough for video streams.

You've got him confused...

Wow - modded as Troll? Lots of Dead Kennedy fans out there in Slashdot land I guess.

HOPE is the first thing to die!

Sad...

This is a really bad loss for the hacker (in the real sense of the word) community. I've never actually made it out to one before but I've made sure to listen to the majority of the recordings from the past conferences. There's some great content by some really intelligent speakers and I know that I'm really looking forward to some of the talks this year. Check out the list to see if you find anything you're interested in (you probably will): The Last HOPE [thelasthope.org].

I'm thurr dewd!

[ottffs]

I'm at HOPE right now... Tune in and her me heckle from the audience. I'm the one making fun of Moot from 4chan - you will pics of me there later this weekend harassing him and maybe trying to get a kiss tomorrow night when he's drunk... Mark my words!

fuckem

[new2_60605]

Emanuel Goldstein is just another self righteous jackass who sold his soul to the US Government after 9/11, another jack off that decided the illusion of security is better than REAL security or freedom of any kind. After 9/11 2600 agreed to edit its content and censor its content in accordance with requests from the secret service. ADDITIONALLY 2600 has helped law enforcement to apprehend black hat hackers (look up Indiana State Police V PRM) the defendant was unknown till some one at 2600 (editor and chie

Re:

[byolinux]

Got any evidence to back up these claims?

Re:

[dreamchaser]

Of course he doesn't; he's trolling. Try to find evidence out there for any of his claims. You won't find anything.

Re:

[strelitsa]

Is this the same Emmanuel Goldstein that posts on the Hannity boards? If so, she'll be very surprised to learn that she had a sex change operation and is now a he.

Re:

[Anonymous Coward]

Wow, when new2_60605 realizes you can't make a living being pissed at random people you've never met, he's going to be PISSED! Anyway, let's destroy his little fantasy world argument:

-Emanuel Goldstein is self-righteous because he has decided that real security is better than the illusion of security. Not the other way 'round. He just can't yell about that all day. It would make for bad radio/magazine/allkindsofthings.

-2600 doesn't edit its content for anything but the occasional spelling or grammar mistake

Re:

[somedarnguy]

so what you're really saying is that EG kept rejecting your articles for publication?

So Long and Thanks for all the FISH!

[PetoskeyGuy]

Last Conference? Obviously the hackers know more than they're letting on.

Has anybody recorded the live radio streams?

[I)_MaLaClYpSe_(I]

Has anybody recorded the live radio streams? I can't seem to find any recordings of this anywhere, I missed the live stream. :-(

Also links to video recorings - even if not free of charge - would be welcome!
