1. Holiday history of 🤓 Geek Pride Day

Between 1998 and 2000 in Albany, Tim McEachern initiated and hosted 🎉 Parties — Geek Pride Festival or Geek Pride Day.

In 2001, one of the creators of the programmable logic controller, Dick Morley, also held a Geek Parade Day in New Hampshire and even described it in his 📔 Book “Techshock: Future Under ⚒️ Repair”. The idea of holding the parade was based on the desire to gather a number of those who also adore computer games, science, specific literature on this topic and share their experience with them.

The Internet and the media first learned about this holiday in 2006, thanks to a 🇪🇸 Spanish blogger Herman Martinez – Senor Buebo. He held an event both in Spain and on the 🌐 World Wide Web, which was able to gather about 300 people in Madrid. Those present at the holiday ✍ Wrote a manifesto on the basic rights and duties of geeks.

Further, this holiday began to gain more and more popularity. So, in 2008, it was officially celebrated in the 🇺🇸 USA, and in 2013, in 🇸🇪 Sweden, it was decided that this event will be held every year.

Interesting fact:

The date of the celebration was chosen because of the premiere of the first film of 🌌🔫 Star Wars, which was released on May 25, 1977.;
In 2008 in the United States, a blogger and an Euler Book Prize winner John Derbyshire, in honor of Geek Pride Day, came to the parade in clothes number 57. He chose this number because of a story about the algebraist Alexander Grothendieck. Grothendieck, during a discussion about the problem of number theory, was asked to name any prime number and he chose 57. But this number is not prime and it is not known whether Grothendieck knew this. But thanks to this story, the number 57 is now called the “Grothendieck’s prime number”. Thus, John Derbyshire expressed his belonging to the geek culture.;
