Hacker Community Dinner began in New York City in 2010, when some members of NYC2600 and Alpha One Labs began to meet for refreshments on a monthly basis.
The dinner provides a means for hackers from different groups to meet and discuss new projects, current events, and goings-on in their local community. The Dinner also makes Hackers more visible: it is an attempt to welcome curious newcomers, destroy the negative stereotype of hackers as antisocial criminals, and show the public that they are real people who contribute to their local community in positive ways.
