2600 Meetings exist as a forum for all interested in technology to meet and talk about events in technology-land, learn, and teach.
Meetings are open to anyone of any age or level of expertise.
Guidelines:
1) We meet in a public area. Nobody is excluded. We have nothing to hide and we don't presume to judge who is worthy of attending and who is not.
2) We act in a responsible manner. We don't do illegal things and we don't cause problems for the place we're meeting in.
3) We meet on the first Friday of the month between 5 pm and 8 pm local time. At Student Street in Old Main, accross from the Tim Horton's, on TRU Campus till 6pm then on elsewhere...
2600 is an international hacker organization that has existed since the dawn of the internet. There are monthly meetings globally. Precise location of the Kamloops 2600 meet is the TRU campus in the "Old Main" building, just inside the main glass doors. The Old Main building is the "T" shaped building below. Student street is the hallway inside up to the "T" intersection. The meeting is within this intersection just inside the big glass arch and main glass entrance doors. See you there - unless you fear the code. Bring your own coffee and snacks - there is no open vendor at that time. Parking is free after 6pm, though, and there is conveinient parking spaces in the lot in front of the big glass entrance across the grass. Address:
Thompson Rivers University
900 McGill Road

*Only sites of official meetings will appear here*MAKING YOUR MEETINGS PAGES
MEETING PAGES: INTERNATIONAL UNITED STATESMAKING YOUR OWN MEETING PAGES
Pages made for your meeting will reside on your own site, so that you can change them without having to resend 2600 your site again and again. Send a link to meetings@2600.com if you would like your meeting included or if you have problems. For obvious reasons, we cannot link to your site if you have illegal material or transactions of any kind as your page will be representative of 2600. Thanks for your cooperation.
If your site has disappeared it may be because it was unreachable for an extended period. If your site has returned since it was delisted, just let us know. Please try not to run your site on a flaky connection. Also, be aware that this is a volunteer effort on our part and it can take up to a month or two to make changes since this is generally done while we're putting together a new issue.
Meeting sites should contain things like the following:
Standard meeting information (Who/What/When/Why/Where)
Pictures or maps of the area (so people can find the way in an unfamiliar mall).
Maps of the roads in the area (so people can find the mall)
A history of meetings
Remember that meetings are open to all as per the meeting guidelines. Your meeting CANNOT be "sponsored" by anyone or merged with another outside organization. Also, avoid appearing to be a tight knit group as this will only discourage or intimidate new attendees. It also would be inaccurate - meetings are no more yours than they are anybody else's. Similarly, your site should only focus on the meeting itself, not activities outside of or after the meeting. If you imply that all of the cool people wind up doing one thing while the non-cool people do something else, you're creating divisions and factions that have no place here. For the same reason, we strongly discourage any kind of content that mocks or puts down any attendee(s).
WARNING: We don't like sending people to sites with pop-up or pop-under ads. Avoid putting your meeting on such a site as we may be forced to take down the link if it's annoying.
IRC USERS: Connect to irc.2600.net and go to the channel for your state or country in order to find other people in your area. Use your state's two letter abbreviation followed by 2600 in order to find the right channel (#md2600, #ct2600, etc.) If you're outside the United States, put your two letter Internet country code after the 2600 (#2600au, #2600dk). For example, California and Canada use the same two letter abbreviation (CA). The California channel would be #ca2600 while the Canadian channel would be #2600ca. Other channels may exist for specific meetings within these areas - they should be referenced in the main state or country channels so people can find them. All 2600 channels, like the meetings, are open to all.
