TLDR: Tomorrow its over, teardown starts at 18:15, don’t do anything stupid.

Dear life forms participating in Congress,

tomorrow, 42c3 35c3 will sadly come to an end and teardown awaits. For that, we need your help.

We ask all assemblies to start dismantling their installations after the Closing Event at 18:15 on December 30th. Please use gates 2.5, 2.6, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 for unloading. We kindly ask you to first pack your stuff, move it to the gates and only then get your car.

After packing your stuff, please stack your chairs correctly sorted. Please do not remove said chairs from your …

After standing in the cold for quite a long time, the Fairy Dust waits for you and your video-art-vision in the heat of Discodrama.

This is one of our four spots with art, culture, music and beauty at 35C3. Just like assemblies show their geeky stuff, these places show artsy stuff: Champions in their respective fields have stepped out of their bubble into ours, to give us light’n’beauty. Now they are curious about your reaction to their passion. Let’s all explore the entire universe – not only these four spaces:

• Shutter Island: CCL -1 (c3nav)
  • Music from morning till morning; ambient chillout …

Dear Assemblies,

please be aware that you need to have your congress-wristband to enter the premises starting from 27.12. Furthermore we need the number plates of the cars with which you intend to deliver stuff. Please send them as a mail to 35c3@c3loc.de or call us at 0341 39294864, the gate will only let declared cars pass.

Entry to the premises has to happen via Gate “Süd 1”, from there you’re able to drive directly to the halls. You can look up which hall your assembly is placed in using c3nav. Please use the logistics area in front of Gate 5 and 6 of each hall, i.e. Gate 2.5, 2.6 and 3.6 …

Das vierundzwanzigste Türchen.

So kurz vor dem 35C3 schlägt die Memory Lane einen unterhaltsam-besinnlichen Ton an, um die Vorfreude weiter anzuheizen, aber auch einen entspannten Hörspaß zu spenden. Bestens geeignet hierfür ist die äußerst populäre Reihe der Audio-Features: Sie waren ein Produkt der Hörspielwerkstatt der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, deren Vertreter Jens-Martin Loebel, Julia Böttcher, …

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

We interpret ALL talks in the five main halls live and in real-time. German talks are interpreted into English, and vice versa. Our work is transmitted live in the lecture halls, streamed to the Internet?*, and recordings are published on CCC sites and YouTube. A second translation channel will be operated in the same way.

That is a lot of material to translate and in order to succeed, we need YOU. With the second channel, you have the chance to contribute in an even …

Did you think that the thrill of sharing your ideas in front of a huge
audience at a C3 was something you’d never experience? Do you work on a
cool project and want to get the word out? Was your talk one of the
hundreds that got rejected? Did you come up with an awesome hack that
you need to share? Go ahead and enter your Lightning Talk now!

The 35C3 Lightning Talks consist of three fast paced sessions which are

This year, we want to show that it is possible to provide reliable, secure communications infrastructure with the highest quality and premium service. For you!

DECT, SIP or GSM extensions can be reserved in the new GURU3. The old accounts and data from  GURU2 have been migrated. It is now possible to select a random free extension or to display all free numbers at the push of a button.

Last year we wrote: “Unfortunately it is technically not possible to speed up or parallelize the process [of the telephone registration]“. And because it seemed impossible to us, we built …

35c3 is ahead with its slogan „refreshing memories“. Those who have visited a Congress before will have memories of all the helping hands that make a Chaos Communication Congress possible. Those volunteers are called Angels.

And we also need a lot of angels for this year’s congress. That’s your turn! There is a lot of work and anyone can help with – there are specialized tasks requiring some level of training beforehand and there are simple tasks that can be taken care of by anyone instantly. For those helping it is a great experience to learn how the Congress organizes itself and what is …

The halls are still grey and empty and 35c3 hasn’t started yet, but work behind the scenes has already started as it does every year. On December 15th and 17th, large amounts of material will arrive at the Messe that have to be unloaded. We are in need for help to do that!

So if you’re able, please consider coming by on both days at around 9 am.

Help is especially needed by physically fit people as a lot of heavy equipment has to be moved. Please bring cloth that can get dirty, gloves and working boots.

If you want to help, come by to hall 4 and help. If you need to reach us, you can do so by …

As you might have noticed by now, the 35th installment of Chaos Communication Congress titled „Refreshing Memories“ will open doors in Leipzig, Germany, December 27-30th, 2018.

We welcome members of the press on grounds and would kindly ask you to request prior press accreditation. To do so, please send your name and the media you will be reporting for via email to press-accreditation@cccv.de.

Tl;dr: Please read the FAQ and do the halfnarp!

It’s that time of the year again: We’re going to gather in Leipzig at the Chaos Communication Congress with our fellow mad hatters and get lectured. But before we can have the time of our lives, we need you, you, you to make the Fahrplan as frictionless as possible – we have to shuffle around a record-breaking number of around 160 lectures.

Without further ado, we present the 35C3 halfnarp and would kindly ask you to lose yourself in the options, then mark and submit the lectures you plan to attend. We’ll take your data into account when …

“Seidenstrasse”, the pneumatic tube system made from drainage pipe and vacuum cleaners, traditionally makes it possible to send capsules with cookies, hard disks and more. But the extent of it is dependent on the amount of help we get during buildup and especially teardown.

Last year basically 2-3 people did a large part of that work: hanging up and and tearing down the pipe.
That is a lot of work for a few people and has to be spread across more people. Hanging up and tearing down the pipe happens early during buildup in the week before and after Congress.

If you have a head for heights and …
