Hack Parties for 2002 You Shouldn't Miss?

Happy HAcker asks: "For those who went there, HAL2001 was just a wonderful place to be during summer of 2001. I'm wondering if there are any planned events like this in 2002? Events planned just about anywhere in the world are welcome." I hear about all of these cool hacking events over in Europe and figure maybe, with a little advanced warning, I might be able to plan one in, someday.

H2K2

H2K2 [h2k2.net], or the fourth Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference, takes place in NYC next July 12, 13, and 14 at the Hotel Pennsylvania [hotelpenn.com]. This year they're planning on having a little over four times as much space as last year to work with. Should be interesting.

You don't get to attend unless you spell "Isaac's" name correctly.
