It’s that time again – the remote Chaos Experience (rC3) is coming! This time with a new format, with tickets for special virtual extra features – we are not sure how many people will visit this new event, nor what will exactly happen. In a way we are all first time visitors, aren’t we? Some people – you too? – may need some support to have a good start.

Who are the Chaos Mentors for?

Just in time for the event, the complete #rC3 timetable provides a unified overview of the “main program” and all community streams.

In addition to the virtual halls 1 and 2, appropriately titled “rc1” and “rc2”, the music program of the “rc3 Lounge” may of course not be missing.

Hey!

The load test for our Jitsi infrastructure will take place soon.

We’ll kick off around 18:00 GMT+1 (that’s German local time) / or 17:00 UTC (still 18:00 German local time) at:

Your rC3 Infra Crew

Hello and welcome as we approach the finish line!

Today we have some more important or practical information and a little retrospective of our blogpost series, concluded and garnished with a few thoughts on festivity, elective families and tradition.

First up, a correction to the weekend post: Close proximity conversations in the rC3-World do not run via Jitsi, but are part of the World-software and peer-to-peer. Jitsi is used for larger communication spaces in the rC3 World.
There is now a How-To-Play.

Those of you who carefully read during the weekend can rejoice again:
Today, Wednesday the …

Hello and Welcome to post No 6 on our chaotic journey to the remote Chaos Experience 2020.
Like the last few weekends, we bring you helpful, knowable and simple things(TM) that everyone can practically put in their pockets. The information noted here was all screwed up, made possible and gained from volunteers kept in a nerd-appropriate manner.

On that note, mate, unicorn and biscuits packed….

What the FAQ?

For rC3, even more information than usual needs to flow: Everything is new and the swarm knowledge you pass on year after year has to emerge. We have ground to make up in terms of …

If you are multilingual and fluent in German, English and maybe other languages, please consider joining the translation team.

We want to interpret ALL talks in the two main channels and content from other channels too, live and in real time. Our work is transmitted live in the streams, and recordings are published on CCC sites and YouTube. For each event we have two channels for interpreted content. In the first, German talks are interpreted into English, and vice versa. A second translation channel translates into languages other than English or German – what we do there depends on …

Hello and welcome to post No 5 of the rC3 calendar!

Note: The second ticket batch is exhausted. Thank you so much for your overwhelming interest in this event! We hope you enjoy rC3.

This post has matured an extra day and comes out steaming hot! Sorry for keeping you hungry and waiting – we’re sure it’s worth it.

Today it’s all about culture, knowledge and their creators feat. the overall situation. We also have two surprise guests with a little something to share for those of you who would like to finally light it all on fire.

The Situation of Artists

As everyone has probably noticed by now, …

Welcome to the middle of the film warm-up blog!

Just like last weekend we bring you more information on how to participate in rC3 – because it all starts in a fortnight!

An appeal regarding the new ticket contingent: Please do _not_ click tickets for bots. Or your toaster, your fridges, or (insert any other IoT things here). Our capacity is limited and we would like to give priority to beings that pass the Turing Test. We will set up a small contingent for bots and, in the coming days, announce here how you can connect your toothbrush or remote-controlled telepresence robot.

But now to the …

Hey you, maybe you already know C3Subtitles from previous chaos events. We will also create subtitles for this years rC3! Especially people who are hard of hearing and people that don’t understand and speak the language of the talk perfectly will profit from them. But if that doesn’t apply to you, it doesn’t mean the subtitles can’t be beneficial to you: Just imagine your dad/flatmate/hamster is vacuuming at the very moment you wanted to enjoy a video…

If you want to participate in the subtitles team this year, just become an angel and join the team! We will create subtitles for the recorded …

Welcome to Part Three of this year’s getting in the mood blog posts, today with light hearted throwbacks and participation opportunities in the Tuesday edition.

What can you expect here today? Means and suggestions to get your homely cave, including yourself, in the mood for #rC3. It’s the story of trashy music, beloved merchandise and fine biscuit shapes, rounded off with two suggestions for flashing LED fun.

Grab a Mate and here we go …

COOOOOOOKIES.

Earlier this year during the DiVOC PTT three DIY 3D-printable cookie moulds were introduced by Benjamin-W. A rocket cookie is always a …

TL;DR
On Saturday, 12.12.2020 at 14:00 (Berlin, CET, UTC +01:00) we’ll launch an additional ticket contingent.
If a third round will be available, is currently not sure.

What the hack happened???

To be honest, we didn’t expect this number of people willing to participate in #rC3 and subsequently clicking tickets. Especially since in the beginning many said »not just another video conference« or »nawh, online ain’t mine«. But obviously, rC3 was interesting enough to clear out our initial ticket contingent.

Additional tickets

People worked hard in the past few days to …
