It just wouldn’t be HOPE without another installment of “Hackers Got Talent.” This is an opportunity for hackers from all around the planet to show off their talents in this cheeky display of hacker (and totally non-hacker) skills. Just sign up at InfoDesk and the talent you decide to share is entirely up to you. (Seriously, anything you’re good at is a talent.) Hacker archivist Jason Scott will again be on hand to keep everything moving. Judging will be done by a combination of panelists and audience members. First place wins a valuable prize! Second place... we’ll see.
Jason Scott directed three documentaries, including BBS, GET LAMP, and DEFCON, as well as pre-production for other projects, during which he interviewed over 300 individuals, historical figures and spontaneous bystanders.
