Artifacts and customs


The academic hacker subculture is defined by shared work and play focused around central artifacts.[citation needed] Some of these artifacts are very large; the Internet, the World Wide Web, the GNU Project, and the Linux kernel are all hacker creations,[citation needed] works of which the subculture considers itself primary custodian.[citation needed]
The academic hacker subculture has developed a rich[citation needed] range of symbols that serve as recognition symbols and reinforce its group identity.[citation needed] GNU's Gnu; the BSD Daemon; Tux, the Linux penguin; and the Perl Camel stand out as examples. The use of the glider structure from Conway's Game of Life as a general Hacker Emblem has been proposed by Eric S. Raymond.[citation needed]
The academic hacker subculture has an annual ceremonial day—April Fool's.[citation needed] There is a long tradition of perpetrating elaborate jokes, hoaxes, pranks and fake websites on this date,[citation needed] which includes the publication of the annual joke RFC.
