[claudia westermann]

The "Transnational Hackmeeting" will take place on June 25th, 26th 
and 27th 2004 in Pula, Croatia. On an international scale will it 
bring together a wide range of groups and individuals, defining 
themselves as hackers": coders, network explorers, radical activists, 
cyberfeminists, curious & inventive people, mediactivists, 
cyberpunks, gnus, crypto-anarchists and miscellaneous (digital) 
rebels. The "reality-hacking" principle will prevail: no need to be a 
geek to be a hacker; better freely express your creativity, 
subvertise common tools by using them in a different way to bypass 
obstacles!


WHO?

The "Transnational Hackmeeting" aims at extending the ongoing Italian 
and Spanish hackmeeting movement. Since a few years, it has allowed 
alternative/autonomous militant cultures and hacking/free software 
movements to meet, exchange and mix. The "Transnational Hackmeeting" 
is willing to expand this beyond geographical borders; to spread this 
hybrid and autonomous culture; to benefit from contacts with similar 
movements in Europe; to meet eastern countries that are often ignored 
and isolated.


HOW?

The "Transnational Hackmeeting" is self-organized: no central comity, 
but an open and transparent organisational process, through a 
permanent assembly on the Internet, using the thk at autistici.org 
mailing-list (open subscription!) and a wiki; no sponsorship, but 
good will, shared hardware, mutual aid and knowledge from all the 
people involved; no paid lecturer, but free workshops, organized by 
volunteers for interested people; a flexible program, evolving thanks 
to participants.


WHERE?

The "Transnational Hackmeeting" will take place at Monteparadiso 
(http://www.monteparadiso.hr/), an occupied social centre located in 
Pula, Croatia. There will be a big parking place and space for 
camping.
