Chaos Computer Club

= a hacker posse from Germany that is quite possibly the coolest group of hackers anywhere. [1]

Description

"Founded in 1981, it has grown to an astounding 2,000 members.

With causes like ensuring secure voting machines, protecting privacy, defeating censorship and governmental obfuscation, and promoting hacker ethics, the CCC has become something of a hacktivist powerhouse. They hold an annual "Chaos Communications Congress" gathering and also a very cool hacker camp every four years." (http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/07/the-history-of.html)
