Whole lot of happy hacker campers

Wired: “Just eight hours after the East Coast’s largest hacking conference opened its doors Friday, H2K2 had already
taken on the feel of summer camp for enthusiastic engineers.

While most are here to hack around the clock for a few days and catch up with friends they rarely see face-to-face,
a significant number said they came hoping to find employment or clients.

“There’s no better place to find a government job than a hacker
convention,” said Gray Adams, an unemployed programmer
from Chicago. “There are always people at these shows who
are looking to hire hackers.”
