The Sputnik/OpenBeacon project has been successful in making the complete collected RFID tracking data available on the web.

Hacker Jeopardy in German only? Wrong!

EN

If this had been your question to the answer, you would have earned about -500 points for it. In fact, this year’s Hacker Jeopardy is a dual language event, but due to shortcomings in our scheduling system there is no way to reflect that kind of information. So, join us even if you don’t understand German, and be surprised by one of the funniest (or maybe the funniest) event at the Congress ever.

See you tomorrow at 23:00 in Saal 1 – and bring your DECT phone!

Publishing the Timetable for the 24th Chaos Communication Congress

EN

George Bradshaw
The year is 1839. The British Empire seizes Hong Kong as a base, preparing to wage war against Qing China. The world’s first commercial electric telegraph line comes into operation alongside the Great Western Railway line from Paddington station to West Drayton. And in Manchester, George Bradshaw, cartographer, printer and publisher, prepares a revolutionary publication on the recently established railways: the first ever timetable for public …

Finally. You can there find lots of information about how to participate and what to expect. Head over to the 24C3 Website-Wiki and have a look.

As the website is a wiki you can add information and edit (most of) the text. At the last events – especially the Chaos Communication Camp – many people used the wiki to plan things, let other people know about it and find others with similar interests. Please go ahead!

EN

The call for participation for the 24th Chaos Communication Congress will end in 3 days. This means you have to submit your lecture proposal for the upcoming 24C3 before October 12th, 2007 (Midnight UTC).

24C3 is a low-cost and volunteer-driven event and we have a tiny budget if you compare it to commercial conferences. In many cases, however, we can offer reimbursement for travel expenses. While we cannot sponsor you a free vacation in Berlin, as an accepted speaker you get free entry to the event and we’ll probably be able work out expenses for overseas travel. For further information and …

We didn’t want to keep this from you. A photo of the 24C3 kickoff meeting in the Mauerpark end of August. So idyllic. So much planning already going on, despite the fact that our CCCamp-tested tents were still hung over doors and tables at home for drying and despite the fact that some of us still got glazed looks of reminiscence whenever the Camp came up in the discussion on what to improve and how. Perhaps by now you can guess that we are all eager and looking forward to the 24C3 already…

Also, I want to use this posting to repeat, once again: This year’s Congress will have Steampunk woven …

We still want your submissions for the congress (the Call for Participation has not ended yet). So, submit your life-changing and amazing talk or workshop …
