About

What is Distributed Chaos?

Distributed Chaos is a grassroots initiative to foster local hacker communities worldwide. We believe in the power of face-to-face connections and hands-on learning in the hacker and security community.

Our Mission

To provide a lightweight framework that enables local hacker groups to form, grow, and thrive while maintaining their independence and unique character.

Core Values

• Community First: We prioritize building genuine connections and sharing knowledge
• Decentralized: No central authority - just a framework and shared principles
• Open & Inclusive: Everyone is welcome to participate and contribute
• Educational: Focus on learning and skill development
• Independent: Each group maintains its autonomy while sharing common values

History

Distributed Chaos was born from the recognition that while online communities are valuable, there’s something special about meeting fellow hackers face-to-face. We launched in 2024 with the goal of making it easier for local hacker communities to organize and connect.
