Top Azubitag!

An Tag 3 des 37C3 fand der erste Azubitag auf dem Chaos Communication Congress statt. Es kamen 140 Azubis aus ganz Deutschland zusammen, um den Congress zu besuchen und den CCC kennen zu lernen.

Mit der Eröffnungsveranstaltung gab es eine kurze Einführung in den CCC, Hacking und wie eins auf dem Congress überlebt. Außerdem konnten wir mithilfe verschiedener zivilgesellschaftlich engagierter Organisationen ein Goodiebag mit Tassen, Druckerzeugnissen und Weiterem …

ANIMAL()CITY: Unleashed! presents the positions of the seven participating international artists as physical exhibits in the CCH entrance area exhibition space, each corresponding with their virtual counterparts in augmented reality.

The selected Art & Beauty work is more difficult than the other sections of the conference program. The artists have articulated themselves through their visual positions, as opposed to lectures or presentations. We sometimes succeed in making art – and beauty! – accessible in the form of the somewhat infamous performance lecture, but the art usually falls by …

For all those who are not attending the Congress, there is of course the opportunity to meet up in the Hackerspace, stream lectures together, hack, party, etc. During these days, the Congress is everywhere where it is lived. There is also the opportunity to visit each other.

The following spaces have signed up:

It is the 24th December, day -2 of 37C3, and just before many of you start their journey to the Congress Center Hamburg, we have a few useful bits of information and reminders for you.

TL;DR

• Your starting point for all 37C3 information and content is the 37C3 Start Page.
• Remember the usual packing checklists, and especially the current measures to protect against infectious diseases.
• Assemblies: Please read the instructions for Assembly arrival and deliveries (your drop-off location depends on the location of your assembly!).

Finding information and staying up-to-date

Congress offers a lot …

It is the shibboleth among European nerds on campsites, at the Mate wholesale market and in lecture halls. It often divides the community, has often led to long queues in the past and for many hackers it’s the reliable source of clothing: The Congress Merch.

The wildest hot takes on merch in the run-up to the event usually start with “Why don’t they just …” and the answers to this are rarely obvious without having rocked such a production yourself. That’s why we want to provide a little insight into the motivations, constraints and experiences and grant a …

For several years now, the topics of climate breakdown and (un)sustainability have been addressed by the CCC, because there is no hacking on a dead planet. For example, the CCC was a core member of the first Bits & Bäume conference in 2018, and one year later in 2019 the motto of the 36C3 was ambiguously but spot on “Resource Exhaustion” with the new content track “Resilience and Sustainability” providing for relevant talks and discussions.

This paved the way for this year’s Chaos Communication Congress, one of the biggest gatherings in the hacker world, to continue pursuing the …

TL;DR: We have exiting tours to interesting locations in Hamburg. All details over at Hackertours!

The Hamburg team has sought out interesting locations in the city that will take you away from the catacombs of the Congress Center for a few hours, letting you experience exiting new things.

The Tours

Cap San Diego

Cap San Diego is a general cargo ship built in 1961 that still is seaworthy and offers excursions. On our tour we will see the bridge as well as the engine room. An exhibition takes us back in time to worldwide shipping before the introduction of containers. All details

Old Elbe …
