The seventh Hackers on Planet Earth conference, organized by 2600, starts Friday in New York. If you can’t be at The Last HOPE, you can listen online.

Radio station W2H according to Bernie S., those are real, albeit temporary, call letters will be broadcasting from radio.hope.net. Also known as Radio Statler the hotel hosting the conference used to be called The Statler, the station will be live from 10 a.m. ET Friday until the close of the conference at 8 p.m. on Sunday.

There isn’t a published schedule, most likely because there isn’t an unpublished one, either. Plans are to stream the keynote presentations and other popular seminars, interview some of the speakers, carry reports from roving reporters, and talk to some of the attendees.

Hackers with their own podcasts are also invited to contribute. With a project manager named “LexIcon” a chief engineer who goes by “nikgod,” it should be interesting. I’ll be there, and maybe they’ll even have a few minutes to talk to me.
