What is an Hackerence?  

The word Hackerence is made of two words: Hack and Conference.
The Hackerence is a conference for all sorts of computer users not
just hackers or game swappers. The thought behind the Hackerence is
to give all computerlovers a chance to get together and exchange
computerknowledge. You could describe the Hackerence as 48 hours
of totally brainblasting computerchaos. The noise is alarming when 
there are about 300-400 computers running. Many  also bring their
stereos. 

The Hackerence also features lectures in many different computer-
oriented subjects, such as robotics, neural networks etc.
Pizzas can be orded on location and low-priced coca-cola and
discs can also be obtained. There are quiet rooms for sleeping.
The main computerhall can hold up to 500 computers and there are
no risc of power running short. The Hackerence occurs two times a
year, in may and in november. The Hackerence was in the beginning 
run by Unga Forskare Harnosand (young scientists of Harnosand)
but is now controlled by the newly created COMUN (COMputer UNion).
