Hackers

DISOBEY! ... and think for yourself!

The world is going totally stupid!
Fear is the enemy of freedom!
Mental Sanity needs to take over!
Join the international Hacker Movement!

Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in freedom and voluntary mutual help. To be accepted as a hacker, you have to behave as though you have this kind of attitude yourself. And to behave as though you have the attitude, you have to really believe the attitude.

To behave like a hacker, you have to believe that the thinking time of other hackers is precious — so much so that it's almost a moral duty for you to share information, solve problems and then give the solutions away just so other hackers can solve new problems instead of having to perpetually re-address old ones.

Hacker Ethics

Access to computers — and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works — should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-on Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority — promote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.

    You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

    Hoarders may get piles of money,
    That is true, hackers, that is true.
    But they cannot help their neighbors;
    That's not good, hackers, that's not good.

    When we have enough free software
    At our call, hackers, at our call,
    We'll throw out those dirty licenses
    Ever more, hackers, ever more.

    You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Hacker Community Congress

Hacker Community Congress (HCC) is a meet up of Hackers.

Issues that every hacker should be aware of

Freedom is more than just open sources
Video surveillance of public places
Data retention and telco surveillance
Biometric identification systems
Software patents kill freedom of thought
Fighting the copyright insanity
Voting computers take away control

Hackers' Responsibility to Society

Hackers have the responsibility to learn, evaluate and eventually report
Go out and start doing good things today!
