Hillhacks

who we are

We are just a bunch of people that got connected by crazy and various circumstances, in a spontaneous and still very dynamic way.

Be one of them!

Learn more on this open coalition of independent community volunteers from various places on the page on the Himachal Hill Hackers, and more on the history on this group on this chapter in the timeline. Also find the page on events of the Chaos Communication Club (CCC) as a main inspiration of who we are, what we want to do, and how we got together.
