The Last HOPE
July 18-20, 2008
The Hotel Pennsylvania
New York City
Call For Participation
    
    The Last HOPE (www.hope.net) is this Summer's hacker conference  
sponsored by 2600 Magazine.  Presenters and artists from all  
nationalities and disciplines are again invited to participate in this  
forum.  The Last HOPE covers all aspects of hacking, the community  
surrounding it, and its effects across the world.


For three days, The Hotel Pennsylvania will be the nexus of
discussion, planning, and activity for hacker ideas, opportunities,
and understanding.

There are several ways to participate:

     * Speak: Presentation ideas should be submitted with a synopsis  
of the topic and presenter bio, and will be chosen by relevance and  
peer review.  Panels, talks, tutorials, debates, or other types of  
presentations are all welcome.  Most presentations will be 55 minutes.
     * Interact: Demonstrations of new and interesting technologies or  
system elements as well as artistic exhibits are welcome.  We have  
20,000 square feet of presentation space to fill, so projects of all  
sizes will be considered.  Robots, Segways, Legos, RFID, digital  
graffiti -- submit your creative ideas!
     * Display: Posters, presentations, demos, workshops, classes, and  
other ways of sharing information are encouraged.  Space and time will  
be provided to accommodate proposals.
     * Sell or Exhibit: Space will be available for vendors to sell  
products of interest to the hacker community.  Details will be posted  
later to the HOPE website.
     * Teach: Share your knowledge with others during formal and  
informal workshops. Hands-on instruction is particularly welcome.
       Do you have a lab, factory, warehouse, or other "hacker  
space"?  Do you know there are other hackers in your area who want to  
build one?  The Last HOPE is building the first "hackerspace village"  
to help bring together existing project spaces and inspire efforts to  
build them.  Show hackers from around the world how you built your  
space, what you're doing with it, or what you would do if you had  
one!   Learn about, build, and help grow the global hackerspace  
movement.  E-mail hackerspace@??? with some details about your  
space or plans for building one!
