As we all know, the cost of large-scale endeavors is hard to predict. Sometimes, more costs come up unexpectedly. When we started the ticket sale, we presented you with an estimate of the costs at that time. Divide that by the maximum number of participants and you get an average ticket price we had to meet to cover those costs. Those costs were already calculated conservatively, but reality beat us to it (one of the reasons is that we are going to have to produce all the electricity ourselves, another is water).

Thus, the new required average ticket price is up to 228 Euros, instead of 211 …

After r0ket launching into the world of electronic name badges four years ago, this year we bring you rad1o.

We enjoyed seeing r0ket being used for all sorts of purposes, even years after camp, still in use with old and new ideas. With rad1o we want to go one step further and give you a Toy and Tool that will stay a huge, useful playground after camp.

Liebe Sportsfreunde,

der Vorverkauf für die diesjährigen MRMCD hat begonnen! Ab sofort könnt ihr unter https://mrmcd.net/presale Tickets und Merchandise für die MRMCD vorbestellen. Auch wenn es eine Abendkasse geben wird, bitten wir euch, den Vorverkauf zu nutzen, damit wir Planungssicherheit erhalten und eine tolle Veranstaltung vorbereiten können. Bei allen Tickets ist unser bekannt reichhaltiges Rund-um-die-Uhr-Sportler-Frühstück enthalten.

Wichtig: Sämtliches Merchandise, wie z.B. die (wie immer legendäre) Tasse und weitere Überraschungsgadgets gibt es nur für Tickets aus dem Vorverkauf! …

The camp takes place on an area which does not provide a sufficient amount of electricity to cover our needs. …

To produce your orders in time to have them ready for Camp, we will close the merchandise pre-sale on Tuesday, 18:00h CEST.

Um eure Bestellungen zeitig produzieren zu können, damit wir sie zum Camp fertig haben, werden wir den Shirt-Vorverkauf am Dienstag, 18:00h MESZ schließen.

Sold out T-shirts have a long and sad tradition at CCC events.
We have always tried our best, but we seem to have a tendency to under-estimate the demand.

This is why we are offering a pre-sale for this year’s camp: If you select and pay your garment in advance, we’ll do everything in our power to have it ready and waiting for you to pick up at the camp site.

• Enjoy the camp with no fear of missing out on your favorite shirt, zipper or hoodie
• Much shorter queue, no need to juggle cash
• We’ll avoid the risk of over-producing

Last night, we secretly added an extra garment to the collection:

As usual, the Chaos Communication Camp takes places in the middle of Nowhere. That means, quite all infrastructure for the needs of thousands of participants has to be carried out to the location.

The Ziegeleipark Mildenberg is connected to the local fresh water and waste water system. But it is not designed for that many people. So we have to store water for showers and taps. And even the waste water needs to be collected, so that it can be dumped in the night, when there is less usage from the villages around. Speaking of toilets: other than during past Camps, there will be no chemical …

We all are very much looking forward to Camp 2015 – the new location makes things very exciting but such a new location also makes it very costly: We’ll need to get at least 950.000 EUR from ticket sales, which brings us down to an average ticket price of ~212 EUR.

When we moved the Congress to the new venue in 2012 we have been facing the same issue, remember?
Back then, we didn’t want to raise the price above 100 EUR and right now we don’t want to go above 200 EUR: We leave this, again, up to everyone of you to contribute as much as you can afford to – to make …

Liebe Sportsfreunde,

wir sind fleißig am planen der diesjährigen MRMCD und wollten euch mal ein kleines Update aus der Wettkampfleitung geben.

Vorverkauf
Nachdem wir beim letzten Crewmeeting intensiv das neue, sehr schicke Vorverkaufssystem Pretix auf Fehler abgeklopft und getestet haben, werden gerade noch letzte UI-Verbesserungen eingebaut. Das heißt: Es wird bald losgehen!

Textilien
Wir haben in den vergangenen Jahren schon fair gehandelte Öko-Textilien verwendet und wollen dieses Jahr noch einen Schritt weiter gehen. Es wird natürlich wieder zertifizierte Öko-Textilien aus fairem Handel …

It’s getting June, and August is coming fast. If you are not already totally into the planning of your village, we recommend to invite for planning meetings right now! We need your final numbers, ideas and plans in two weeks already!

1. Fill out and complete the village form!

Please note that we made some changes to the first version, so please re-check your entries! One important change is an unlucky wording: There is not the option of having „public“ bars or kitchen as in „you can sell things to the public“. With that question we tried to find out if you are providing space at your village …

For this years MRMCD we’re looking again for interesting contributions. Topics usually present on the MRMCD are for example Open Source projects, Cryptography, Social Networks, embedded systems, programming languages, privacy and anonymity and the resulting social questions.

According to this year’s topic we’re especially looking forward for topics on the interface of body and technology, let it be research or development under the keyword Self Quan­tiza­t­i­on or interesting technologies from the field of sports and competition.

This list is in no way complete though. The MRMCD is known for a …
