The Chaos Computer Club will host the 37th edition of the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg.

The Chaos Communication Congress has taken a break for known reasons. We are now planning to return to Hamburg’s CCH for the 37th Chaos Communication Congress.

The traditional date 27.-30. December should of course be preserved. Of course we don’t know if external circumstances will thwart our plans.

With cautious optimism, however, we would now like to start planning.

Call for Angels

Dear living entities, we’re almost there: divoc 2022 will be opening it’s doors in a few days. So we’ll be needing the help of additional angels: heralds, signal angels, translation angels, welcome angels, but also stream watchers and chatroom observers. Please give us a short note under divoc@neanderfunk.de so that we know who’ll be coming to help us.

Thank you.

Let’s build bridges between our accustomed bubbles, places to exchange ideas, to meet new creatures or just to see old acquaintances again.

There’s more than enough space, and we hope that this divoc’s world will be as colourful as last year’s (at least!).

To bring some amount of cohesion to this chaos, we’ve decided to publish a styleguide on bb3-style.betalars.de

There’s also a Logo-generator on bb3.tils.pw

If you want to dock your map to our lobby, please send an email with the name of your assembly and a publicly-reachable link to a git-repository of …

• Contributions to other serious and fluffy topics still welcome!

We are devastated by Putins military invasion of Ukraine. We could have never wanted our theme - bridging bubbles - to be as urgent. Because we will need to build bridges between Ukrainians, Russians and the …

tl;dr Talks, art projects and music for the stream of DiVOC bb3. Deadline for submissions: 13.3.2022, Event 15.–18.4.2022.

During the pandemic, the bubbles and echo chambers all of us inhabit seem to have gotten even tighter and more impermeable. We look forward to your talks about technology, science, politics and society. We’re particularly interested in talks addressing current social debates, questions of participation, accessibility, science education and science denial, and “fake news”.

And this time we would like to try out a new format: each day, we want to a have panel on a …

tl;dr A hybrid event: online and in your hackspaces. Do weird things to coax people out of their bubbles and to connect them with others. Contribute on the Wiki and IRC #divoc-bb3, to help plan this. From 15.-18. April 2022.

During the pandemic, the bubbles and echo chambers all of us inhabit seem to have gotten even tighter and more impermeable. We want to interact and merge the bubbles. DiVOC has to replace Easterhegg for the third time, but this time around we hope that the situation allows for small groups to do things together in person. So let’s use the chance to network the …

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 …
