These are quite challenging times. We hope you all get well through this actual situation.

Meanwhile, this year’s rC3 Merch is in production. As you can see here: youtu.be/VXCo-6Dl4YA. Since January with a very reduced team. Due to the current situation, the merch will probably be sent out in February.

For all other interested creatures of the rC3 2021 Merch collection - the shop will remain open until the end of January - merch.rc3.world. Please, take care for yourself and stay healthy!

The remote Chaos Experience 2021 NOW/HERE is coming to an end. 96 hours passed from opening to closing. And we’re taking it further this year.

The end of the rC3-world is postponed to 2022. Our marvellous infrastructure will remain online on a best-effort basis until January 1 at 11:00am. With world chats, Jitsi & BBB, you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate New Year’s Eve with your favourite nerds.

We thank everyone who worked for months to make this event possible. And all of you who populate the here and now, doing great things together.

Stay safe, be excellent, even if the coming year …

Hello!

An important part of the real life Congress are the numerous self-organized sessions (SoS). We’re eager to make this possible for you at rC3.

It’s easier than you think. You open the engine room and at the tab “selforganized” you click on “create SoS”. Then you enter the details of your self-organized session. You can use Markdown in the description field. Remember to tick the box “public”, so your session shows up in the schedule as well as via search.

After saving your session it will appear on the overview page as well as via the search …

For each event we have two channels for interpreted content. In the first, German talks are interpreted into English, or vice versa. A second translation channel translates into languages other than English or German – what we do there depends on availability and on the interests …

The end of the year is near and so is the second edition of the Remote Chaos Experience (rC3 2021). Many helping hands have been preparing everything for months now, so hopefully our virtual get-together will once again be a highlight of the year. After gaining some experience last year and spontaneously finding creative solutions for a lot of problems, this year we hope for an even better event.

But we cannot achieve this on our own. Like every year, we are again …

For the upcoming rC3-nowhere we seek new heralds.

Your job as a herald is to guide the people through the talks. From introducing the speaker, curating and asking questions from the audience, to moderation of an Q&A session, you are the host of the talk.

Are you ready to write and hold an introduction (30sec-1min) to the speaker and talk and announce it in front of a big crowd? Are you ready to improvise on stage? If so, we want to get in touch with you. From the 13-19.12.2021 we want to have a short videochat with you.

Please write us a mail until the 12.12.2021 to rc3heralds@hanse.de …

Just like before you will need a personal account to get access to rc3.world. This account will be generated for the event using your ticket.

The most important points about the ticket …

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 …
