Phone number Registration open, from 15.12.2021 the complete telephony infrastructure will be live.

Dear Chaos,

together we had to tolerate a lot in the last few months. Time for some exclusively good news from your favorite OC. ;-) Registration for extensions on the rC3 2021 NOWHERE is open and you can register numbers. There will also be a distributed DECT network (#EPDDI) again. We are also lending RFPs (antennas) for locations like Chaos Studios, Hackerspaces & Chaostreffs again this year.

Against all our expectations, wishes and dreams, there won’t be an in-person Congress again this year. But in all likelihood, it won’t be a fully remote Congress either. And it won’t be just a repeat of last year. It’s going to be a new de-centralized (remote) Congress, with local spaces hosting events and distributed stages.

The stages are managed by individual channels. Each channel has its own focus and Call for Participation.

In this Meta CfP, we’re presenting all the channels. We also want be transparent about what we want to present at rC3 - NOWHERE.

Common …

rC3 will take place again this year, online only. Now here in the nowhere. Nowhere here and now. No, where?

This year’s motto is “NOWHERE”.

Humanity and climate crisis. Poverty and hunger. Value inflation. The second pandemic year. At the same time … Tourists in space. Political games. Insecurity and frustration everywhere.

Meanwhile a short conversation somewhere at/over a little German data toilet.

“Hey, what to do? No Chaos Communication Congress event? Nothing? Nowhere?” “Hold on. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. An online event at …

Last week we had to announce the decision to cancel this year’s congress. Alas, we don’t want to leave you alone at the end of the year and come back to our experiences and wonderful moments of last year’s rC3.

What can I expect?

Many crews worked on their own tools during the course of the year to optimize the interaction between WorkAdventure and the platform. We also have many ideas for the design of the 2D world – but it needs you to come alive.

Furthermore, we want to come back to our idea of having smaller, local events in your own hackspaces. This includes the joint programme with …

C3Subtitles?!

Once upon a time, the people of the nerds wanted to celebrate their annual festival. But the lands were struck by a pestilence, and it was dangerous to go out and meet other entities. The nerds lamented, for their festival was the highest holiday in their world. But they were all wise creatures, and since wise creatures do not let other creatures come to harm, the committee decided that the celebration would be canceled in the year of the plague.

But the people were strong and wise, and so they pondered. And someone suggested to create an enormous artificial island, which everyone could enter …

Sometime on the morning of Day 4, with the core orga-jitsi’s clock showing hour 48, we sat together for the handover. We pondered, mused, nerded, and asked what we could write to conclude. We settled on a well-known popculture-quote that the 2D-world-developers of this event used to describe their internal channel:

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
— Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

At the end of this event, after 96 hours of remote Chaos Experience, we ourselves cannot put …

Hello and welcome as we approach the finish line!

Today we have some more important or practical information and a little retrospective of our blogpost series, concluded and garnished with a few thoughts on festivity, elective families and tradition.

First up, a correction to the weekend post: Close proximity conversations in the rC3-World do not run via Jitsi, but are part of the World-software and peer-to-peer. Jitsi is used for larger communication spaces in the rC3 World.
There is now a How-To-Play.

Those of you who carefully read during the weekend can rejoice again:
Today, Wednesday the …
