Fahrplan nach Euren Wünschen: Let’s do the halfnarp – agaaaaain!

Tl;dr: Please read the FAQ and do the halfnarp!

It’s that time of the year again: We’re going to gather in Leipzig at the Chaos Communication Congress with our fellow mad hatters and get lectured. But before we can have the time of our lives, we need you, you, you to make the Fahrplan as frictionless as possible – we have to shuffle around a record-breaking number of around 160 lectures.

Without further ado, we present the 35C3 halfnarp and would kindly ask you to lose yourself in the options, then mark and submit the lectures you plan to attend. We’ll take your data into account when …

35C3: Camping

EN DE

Do you remember our camping trip to congress last year?

It was awesome. Never leaving the area, Congress 24/4. When getting tired we’d only have to take a couple of steps out of hall 2 and fall into our beds. In the morning we’d take a quick shower and were back into the fray.

What do you think? Should we do it again to 35C3?

The camping ticketshop is open right now!

You can find additional details in our FAQ. If you’re helping with buildup and teardown, you can use your ticket as of the 15.12. already.

Seidenstrasse the Pneumatic delivery system will be back at 35C3! (maybe)

EN DE

“Seidenstrasse”, the pneumatic tube system made from drainage pipe and vacuum cleaners, traditionally makes it possible to send capsules with cookies, hard disks and more. But the extent of it is dependent on the amount of help we get during buildup and especially teardown.

Last year basically 2-3 people did a large part of that work: hanging up and and tearing down the pipe.
That is a lot of work for a few people and has to be spread across more people. Hanging up and tearing down the pipe happens early during buildup in the week before and after Congress.

If you have a head for heights and …

And yes, this might mean you!
