Large Hackerspace Convention IV (#LHC4)

Join us for another meet-up about our world, the world of hackerspaces,
including our problems, our solutions, our projects, our structures, our
chaos, our members, our publicity and everything in and around the
hackerspaces movement.

This time, we return the LHC to its birth place in Mannheim.
We invite all hackerspaces to come to Mannheim and have a great time
with us, debating the status quo as well as the future …

SIGINT is an annual hacker conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club. It features talks covering both technical and social aspects of our digital society.

VOLUNTEERS For SIGINT to be as great as always, we need your help. First and foremost, we need eager volunteers to help on-site with the intricate details of organizing a conference for hundreds of people. Please register as a volunteer as soon as we have the registration online.

ARTS AND PROJECTS Asides from helping us having everything run smoothly, we’d …

During 29C3 pre-order season we saw over a thousand people buying shirts and hoodies online. But not everyone picked up their stuff during Congress, that’s why we have around hundred pieces of cloth that belongs to one of you.

But we would love to see you proudly walking around in our Congress cloth and not have them rot away in our backyard. So please, check your inbox for preorder-receipts you have not redeemed yet and come and get your stuff.

There will be an hand-out event on Saturday, February, 23th in CCCB around 4pm in Berlin [1]. If you cannot make it there, please send an email to …

 

=> Thank you, you all just rocked!

 

The 29C3 in the new location in Hamburg was great and you all made that possible! We are glad we made the move and really happy that it worked out well. However, congress is not over yet and there are still things to be done for 29C3. You can support us by:

• Adding feedback for talks that you watched
• Providing general feedback regarding congress
• Adding your Congress pictures and videos
• Linking your blogpostings or press articles
• Joining the effort to provide subtitles for ALL the lecture videos

 

You are anticipating the next Congress as impatiently …

Education – not our department? Auf dem Junghackertrack am Tag 3 wendet sich der CCC an das junge Publikum. Zwischen 12 und 20 Uhr gibt es jede Menge zu tun: Alarmanlagen basteln, elektronische Käfer (pentabugs) basteln oder lernen, wie Schlösser funktionieren – das “Chaos macht Schule”-Projekt, ein Zusammenschluss mehrerer CCC-Erfas stellt sich und seine Arbeit vor. Während gebastelt wird, gibt es Vorträge zum “Chaos macht Schule”-Projekt, der kreativen Nutzung von Medien und Datenschutz. Außerdem steht das “Chaos macht Schule”-Team in einer Podiumsdiskussion Rede und Antwort.

There’s still a few open slots in the Lightning Talks happening on Days 2, 3 and 4.

We’re especially looking for [Pecha Kucha][2] talks in the first half of Day 3. There’s also plenty of space open for 5 minute talks on Day 4.

If there’s space, you can submit your Lightning Talk as late as Noon on the day you want to present.

There’s even a chance to do a remote lightning talk on Day 4. Check the wiki for more details!

Thanks to Sascha Ludwig for some awesome photos from Day 1 of the 29c3.

We now have interactive online maps of the 29c3 available at maps.congress.ccc.de. Feedback is always welcome on the #maps.events.ccc channel on hackint.

As we head into Day 1, the 29c3 Setup is nearly complete. As you can see from this small sample of sights from the 29c3, we’re making very creative use of our much, much larger space without losing the feeling that makes the congress so special.

As FEM banner above suggests, talks will be streamed from the 29c3.

To eliminate any potential confusion from the last post about clothing: Pre-Ordered clothing will remain reserved until the end of the 29c3. Even if certain items are sold out to the general public, you can pick up your pre-orders at any time during the 29c3.
