Yes. The Mayor of Boxtel, the Dutch municipality under which the juristriction for the location of What The Hack falls, has informed the organisers that they must apply for a permit for the event and that he fully intends to reject any such application as it will endanger law and order and public safety.

I found this story on The Register first of all, then read the What The Hack anouncement and the press release. It doesn’t seem to have hit Slashdot yet.

Maybe I will be here for my girlfriend’s birthday after all 😉

Damn I’m prolific today, thats my 8th post.
