>From http://www.hackingsociety.com/:
  
   The goal of the Hacking Society is to foster geek community-building
   through the shared experience of hacking. Of course, by "hacking", I
   mean the more historic meaning of working on interesting projects
   (Jargon File "hack" entry, sense 6). Not the "script kiddies trying to
   compromise boxes" meaning which has become what most people think of
   in relation to the term.

>From http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/hack.html:

   hack:
      ...
      6. vi. To interact with a computer in a playful and exploratory
      rather than goal-directed way. "Whatcha up to?" "Oh, just
      hacking."
