Hack-Tic hacker events
Even though the magazine has not been printed since 1993 , a group of people that originally formed around the magazine have continued to organize large hacker culture events every four years . These events continue to be important moments in hacker culture , with visitors from a large number of countries . The last editions have been complete outdoor cities with thousands of visitors staying in tents . Visitor participation at these events has been high , leading to events which some describe as `` all crew , no visitors '' . Recent events have had many visitor-organized `` villages '' as well as a professionally organized conference program . So far , all events have been held in the Netherlands :
Hack-Tic was a Dutch hacker magazine published between 1989 and 1994. Throughout its existence, Hack-Tic had a cult following and upset the authorities beyond the Dutch borders.
