There will be an awareness team at the camp in 2023 again. c3awareness is there for you if, for example:

TL;DR:

• We will have a TV Studio, and you can use it
• We need your content and your help

This year, C3VOC and C3 News Show will be presenting their own content in the form of the C3VOC.TV project. Our goal is to capture all the small and big details that can be found outside of the large stages. Informational content for all on camp, around camp and even those who stayed at home will be part of the schedule. We’ll be building our own TV studio in the Feldbahnschau building. News, talk shows, games, interviews, cooking or everything else you could fit in a small TV studio is possible. Either …

For the Chaos Communication Camp 2023, we took a new approach to create this programme, with stages being run by multiple villages. We had to learn a lot while running this approach, so this first schedule comes pretty late. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused …

Hacks on the Harbour is a Maker & Hacker Festival right at the harbour of Sønderborg (Denmark).

Our content teams are about to draft the first release of the schedule for the camp. We have many exciting submissions and we would like to compile a schedule that allows everyone to attend every event he or she is interested in. To get close to that, we have created a content feedback tool where you can indicate your preferences and we will use your feedback to optimize our schedule and schedule events preferred by the same audience not in parallel.

Please go to https://contentfeedback.events.ccc.de/conferences/camp2023/ where you will see a list of confirmed submissions with their abstracts. …

jolly and laforge from the osmocom team are planning to operate an experimental ISDN and analog telephony network at the Camp! This network will be provided for people to re-enact the good old telephony days, using anything as old as rotary dial phones, up to the 1990s ISDN experience. So if you still have your old wired telephones or ISDN equipment in a basement, feel free to bring it along and hook it up.

Types of interfaces

We can offer

• analog POTS ports, exposed as classic 2-wire “ab” interface according to German standards

Dear friends of fact-checking,

we guarantee this is not fake: The sale of tickets and merch for this year’s MRMCD (“Who owns reality?”) has begun at https://presale.mrmcd.net/mrmcd/2023/. We made five kinds of ticket available, hoping one of them matches your financial reality. We recommend you create precedents during the presale since obtaining a ticket at the box office might be unrealistic. Furthermore, our environmentally certified t-shirts and hoodies, printed by a social institution, are only available during the pre-sale.

We also welcome submissions for talks about a diverse set …

TL;DR: Like last time, we offer you a possibility to buy drinks by the crate at cheaper prices than at the bar.

The camp is approaching fast, and we are excited! Most of us have already started planning, and a serious question arises: where do we get our Mate? If this question keeps you up at night, we have good news: you can buy your mate at the camp! For the duration of the camp , you can buy crates of cold drinks directly from the Bar-Team!
We provide Mate, beer, a variety of lemonades and cola.

From your place to the camp

Has this ever happened to you? You’re packed and eager to bike to camp. But you must admit: three suitcases and two tents are like really bulky. So you scrounge grandma’s SUV and quickly click a parking ticket. Oh, they cost money, too. So you check for a cheap nearby parking garage, what it costs, how you’re going to haul the stuff to camp, and TOOT: Some train nerds are posting stuffed animals on …

The most important bit up front: We will release more tickets, to be sold starting tomorrow, July 11th, 20:00 CEST!

After the last round of ticket sales, we had an unusually large amount of orders that were never paid. Combined with an average ticket price of EUR 376.29 that remained noticeably below our goal of EUR 380, we had hoped for both a fuller camp ground and a less uncomfortable budget. (Remember, we shared our budget and the reason for our ticket prices here.

If we don’t sell out completely on Tuesday, we’ll continue to run a normal presale until all tickets are gone or …
