TLDR: Tomorrow its over, teardown starts at 18:15, don’t do anything stupid.

Dear life forms participating in Congress,

tomorrow, 42c3 35c3 will sadly come to an end and teardown awaits. For that, we need your help.

We ask all assemblies to start dismantling their installations after the Closing Event at 18:15 on December 30th. Please use gates 2.5, 2.6, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 for unloading. We kindly ask you to first pack your stuff, move it to the gates and only then get your car.

After packing your stuff, please stack your chairs correctly sorted. Please do not remove said chairs from your …

After standing in the cold for quite a long time, the Fairy Dust waits for you and your video-art-vision in the heat of Discodrama.

This is one of our four spots with art, culture, music and beauty at 35C3. Just like assemblies show their geeky stuff, these places show artsy stuff: Champions in their respective fields have stepped out of their bubble into ours, to give us light’n’beauty. Now they are curious about your reaction to their passion. Let’s all explore the entire universe – not only these four spaces:

• Shutter Island: CCL -1 (c3nav)
  • Music from morning till morning; ambient chillout …

Dear Assemblies,

please be aware that you need to have your congress-wristband to enter the premises starting from 27.12. Furthermore we need the number plates of the cars with which you intend to deliver stuff. Please send them as a mail to 35c3@c3loc.de or call us at 0341 39294864, the gate will only let declared cars pass.

Entry to the premises has to happen via Gate “Süd 1”, from there you’re able to drive directly to the halls. You can look up which hall your assembly is placed in using c3nav. Please use the logistics area in front of Gate 5 and 6 of each hall, i.e. Gate 2.5, 2.6 and 3.6 …

If you are multilingual and fluent in German, English and maybe other languages, please consider joining the translation team.

We interpret ALL talks in the five main halls live and in real-time. German talks are interpreted into English, and vice versa. Our work is transmitted live in the lecture halls, streamed to the Internet?*, and recordings are published on CCC sites and YouTube. A second translation channel will be operated in the same way.

That is a lot of material to translate and in order to succeed, we need YOU. With the second channel, you have the chance to contribute in an even …

Did you think that the thrill of sharing your ideas in front of a huge
audience at a C3 was something you’d never experience? Do you work on a
cool project and want to get the word out? Was your talk one of the
hundreds that got rejected? Did you come up with an awesome hack that
you need to share? Go ahead and enter your Lightning Talk now!

The 35C3 Lightning Talks consist of three fast paced sessions which are
perfect for pitching new software or hardware projects, exploits,
creative pranks or strange ideas you need to get out to a global
audience. Even if you don’t have an awesome idea or …

This year, we want to show that it is possible to provide reliable, secure communications infrastructure with the highest quality and premium service. For you!

DECT, SIP or GSM extensions can be reserved in the new GURU3. The old accounts and data from  GURU2 have been migrated. It is now possible to select a random free extension or to display all free numbers at the push of a button.

Last year we wrote: “Unfortunately it is technically not possible to speed up or parallelize the process [of the telephone registration]“. And because it seemed impossible to us, we built …

We’ve finally put everything together and are happy to announce: The registrations for the Self-Organized Sessions are open and waiting for you in the 35C3 event wiki.

Self-Organized Sessions are your chance to present a topic that is dear to you in a way that works best for you: It may be a workshop or a lecture, it may be a discussion, but it could also be a contest or a game. You can choose any duration between as short as 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.

For 35C3 we’ll have six rooms designated for self-organized sessions. They vary in size, seating and equipment. The smallest of these is for …

We now are able to announce that we can offer some low-budget sleeping accommodation in Leipzig. After negotiations with the city administration, we now have three locations available. All are within walking distance from tram line 16. The locations are three schools; we are able to use the class rooms for sleeping.

The locations will be available from 26th to 31th of December and are open around the clock.

Tickets will be sold at the 35C3 cash desk for the following night only. The price will be €8 per night. Please take your luggage with you as there will be no guarantee that you will get …

35c3 is ahead with its slogan „refreshing memories“. Those who have visited a Congress before will have memories of all the helping hands that make a Chaos Communication Congress possible. Those volunteers are called Angels.

And we also need a lot of angels for this year’s congress. That’s your turn! There is a lot of work and anyone can help with – there are specialized tasks requiring some level of training beforehand and there are simple tasks that can be taken care of by anyone instantly. For those helping it is a great experience to learn how the Congress organizes itself and what is …

As wonderful as Congress is, it can be overwhelming at times. For people in the autistic spectrum, this can be a challenge. The c3auti team is dedicated to support you if this is the case.

In close coordination with the Awareness Team and the CERT, c3auti is ready to support you on all 4 days of 35C3. We assist in challenging situations or provide a silent refuge if one is needed.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you are in the autistic spectrum. Together, we can work on individual solutions for you. Sometimes it is easier to know a contact person beforehand, so please don’t hesitate to …

After more than three months of planning, reviewing submissions and pondering suggestions, after endless meetings, discussions and heated arguments, after organizing trips, resolving conflicts, and making last minute arrangements, we’re now proud to release the first stable version of the 35C3 Fahrplan.

Nearly 4,000 of you provided a helpful insight into the broad distribution of your interests via halfnarp. With this data we were able to construct a schedule that hopefully minimizes frustration due to simultaneously scheduled favorite talks. And with our new concept of dedicated Foundation …

The halls are still grey and empty and 35c3 hasn’t started yet, but work behind the scenes has already started as it does every year. On December 15th and 17th, large amounts of material will arrive at the Messe that have to be unloaded. We are in need for help to do that!

So if you’re able, please consider coming by on both days at around 9 am.

Help is especially needed by physically fit people as a lot of heavy equipment has to be moved. Please bring cloth that can get dirty, gloves and working boots.

If you want to help, come by to hall 4 and help. If you need to reach us, you can do so by …
