Bitte weitersagen.

Liebe Kunstliebhaber,

ein Künstler hat in der Anti-Terror-Lounge beim 31C3 eines seiner Bilder stehenlassen, was dann leider fälschlicherweise beim Abbau an zwei Helfer verschenkt wurde. Er hätte das aber sehr gern zurück. Wir bitten die kunstbeflissenen Helfer, sich bei uns zu melden unter epass(at)ccc.de (Paßnummer optional).

Angaben zum Kunstwerk: 76 cm x 96 cm, Lack & Acryl (siehe Abbildung)

Der Künstler dankt im Voraus!

In the past the CCC has decided to not run its own YouTube account as we didn’t want to advertise this service. Despite the growing success and continual improvements to media.ccc.de as a streaming platform, people still want to watch CCC talks on YouTube. Unfortunately, many YouTube accounts have shown up which claim to be official CCC accounts. We ignored this for a long time as it was a nice service for the viewer and hey – it’s CC-BY content. However there are some problems with these accounts which we will address later.

To understand the problem we need to discuss another topic, stream …

Note for everyone parking on the bus-parking in the basement of the CCH:

This parking-lot is reserved for busses only and regarding to the experiences of the last year, there is a high possibility for cars parking there to be towed away. To avoid high fees and problems to get the car back, you might consider to remove your car as soon as possible. There will be tour busses tomorrow that might arrive at the CCH during the day and cars will most likely be removed, if the busdrivers do not find a place to park.

Please go and have a look in the wiki (or direct link to the .png). Please be aware that this is only a beta version. Keep an eye on the version numbers, we’ll be updating from time to time.

Dear Congress Visitors,

For the 3rd time during CCC you can take part in the CTF competition, proving you are a worthy hacker. Grab a bunch of friends and knock on our ports, smash some stacks, corrupt some heaps and get yourself some shells. Servers are expecting your exploits from Dec. 27 at 21h00 CET for 48 consecutive hours.

The CTF will be in “jeopardy style”, requiring no setup on your part and it will be open to everyone, online or on-site. Register your team at 31c3ctf.aachen.ccc.de and visit our assembly to bribe us with beer or mate. There will be a couple of easier challenges, so if …

Dear Coffee lovers,

We are a group of nerds, that like to share our passion about good coffee and we want to offer as many visitors as possible the taste of unique coffees. Following our brew-it-yourself concept, a lot of brewing methods like Aeropress an V60 can be tried out.

Assemblies are categorized by their topics this year, based on our experience and the info you gave in the form for the orga. We want this to be a further step towards decentralization of the organisation of the Congress.

Assemblies won’t get specific tables assigned, instead they form clusters with other assemblies. Space is assigned to the clusters. This means that you have to coordinate with the other Assemblies in your cluster, agreeing who gets which tables of the allocated space. At Congress you will find a stack of assembly signs in your cluster area and it’s up to you how you spread …

Do you have a preorder for 31C3 and it is not marked as paid yet? Did you transfer the money already?

Often, banks mix up or lose payment references, and we have little to no chance to find out which payment belongs to which order. Therefore, we need your help (and data) to match those transactions.
