	TidBITS: MacHack: The Ultimate Macintosh Event
		In comparison, MacHack is a ten-course feast prepared in front of the several hundred diners by talented volunteer chefs who then remove their chef's hats and join in the exuberant gastronomic celebration.

	creativepro.com - Andy Among the Hackers: Day One
		I've often said that MacHack is like the "Amen" between the priest's closing sermon at the end of the Mass and the mad scramble to the parking lot afterwards.
		MacHack is important because the hundreds of people gathered in this anonymous Holiday Inn are the folks who actually do all of the work in this industry.
		The other good news is that MacHack has unrestricted access to the hotel's phone closet and should once again transform its atrium and ballrooms into a secure high-capacity data network that would be the envy of any mid-sized corporation.

	TidBITS: MacHack: The Ghost of Macintosh Future
		The MacHack developers conference - the 17th of which was held last week in Dearborn, Michigan - is tremendously unusual.
		Of course, the yoot who attend MacHack are, as with the children of Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegon, above average, with a significant level of Macintosh and Unix knowledge.
		If we were to take MacHack to the logical extreme, we'd all be spending time in groups of friends and colleagues, continually inventing the future with tiny Mac OS X-based Macs that exist as much on the Internet as they do in the physical world.

	TidBITS#585/25-Jun-01
		MacHack started off with the traditional midnight keynote as a panel discussion with seven members of the team that originally created the Macintosh.
		If the MacHack demonstration and discussion of Microsoft's forthcoming Windows XP from some ex-Macintosh programmers is indicative, Microsoft has embraced some of the design attitudes that made the Macintosh great.
		Although much happens at the MacHack developers conference, the heart of the event is the MacHax Group's annual Hack Contest, which gives the programmers a chance to code without worrying about utility, stability, or even usability.

	MacHack 1994
		Interestingly, the first MacHack I attended had a similar ratio, but the conference organizer, the conference chair and the project leader of System 7 (the major topic at that year's event) were all women.
		MacHack takes two of the Holiday Inn's meeting rooms, and packs them with several dozen computers, servers, network geegaws, scanners, huge mounds of technical documentation, and lordy-knows-what-else.
		The highlight of every MacHack is the world-famous Hack Show, in which everyone is invited to present the weirdest, wildest or wackiest "hack" they could manage to devise.

	machack_is_dead [ADHOCWiki]
		But seriously, ADHOC 2, AKA MacHack 20, is indeed the last in its succession.
		Carol Lynn announced it after the awards were given out, and there was much mourning – and rightfully so, for MacHack was truly one-of-a-kind.
		I hope that some brave code warrior (with a lowercase ‘c’ and ‘w’) will pick up the torch and lead a new conference and a new era in the hacker community.

		Jonathan "Wolf" Rentzsch is the first to announce that MacHack will stick to its scheduled date of June 19-21.
		When Apple moved WWDC last week to the week of June 23rd, the MacHack crew was left wondering what to do.
		I'm sure the MacHack organizers realized that, though, and found that it didn't outweigh the cost of moving the conference.

	Open-source sermon at MacHack \| Tech News on ZDNet
		Likening the MacHack crowd to fans at a science-fiction convention, Raymond offered a reprise of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," a talk, originally delivered at Linux Kongress 97, that many regard as the mission statement for the open-source movement.
		During the event, MacHack attendees expressed concerns about the logistics of managing feedback from unknown sources and whether it's possible to make money in an open-source environment.
		MacHack continues through midnight Saturday as attendees compete to create hacks for judging on the last day of the conference.

	Melancholy and the infinite MacHack
		MacHack had its own culture and traditions, and was as much a social & networking event as an opportunity to learn & show off neat tricks.
		I'm still sort of hoping this isn't really true, and still sort of hoping my feelers won't get back to me. Expotech, the company that's behind them, barely has a site to speak of, and there isn't anything on the PR page of Adhoc just yet.
		Anyways, we did try to get the word out, but it's hard since most (and by most I think I mean all) of the people who do this are volunteers and you can only ignore the grumpy landlord for so long before spending your time on for-pay gigs.

	Chris Adamson's Blog: Java sightings at MacHack 2003
		The idea of the MacHack conference - 48 hours of talking and coding, with an emphasis on doing clever but useless things with code - seems like it would cater exclusively to platform-specific Mac coders.
		Apparently, despite the fact that every copy of Mac OS X comes with Java 1.3.1 (with 1.4.1 a software download that's offered to you immediately after the install), the idea of a Java hack was a curve-ball.

	MacHack 18 Chooses "Unstoppable" For Theme \|\| The Mac Observer
		Mindful of the inevitability of their own conference and the unstoppability of it all, the committee looked for a suitable symbol for things that keep moving no matter what.
		Using the SPoD to illustrate MacHack: Unstoppable, the committee has settled on the first multichromatic theme in years.
		MacHack is a fantastic event for Mac developers, and we are delighted, though perhaps not surprised, to see the group's organizers take such a scrappy stand.

	19. June, 2003 - MacHack Begins
		At MacHack, we got a preview of new stuff in CodeWarrior 9 (due later this year).
		You get a chance to actually talk to the engineers who are working on the tools you use, and complain about the bugs that are most important to you.
		For me, the Metrowerks sessions alone at MacHack have been worth the cost of the conference.

	TidBITS#673/31-Mar-03
		MacHack Stays Put in June -- Despite Apple's recent move of the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) to June in San Francisco, a single day after the MacHack developers conference, the MacHack organizers have announced that MacHack will remain in its originally scheduled spot from 19-Jun-03 to 21-Jun-03 in Dearborn, Michigan.
		I still highly recommend MacHack: it offers the best combination of real-world information and industry networking I've seen, and I will definitely be attending (and presenting at) MacHack.
		Apple may be the 600-pound gorilla of this industry, but it would still be nice to see consideration of the effects of throwing that weight around, along with a little common courtesy (such as notifying the MacHack organizing committee in advance).
