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 …

Vor zehn Jahren, also zum 25C3, gab sich der Chaos Communication Congress das provokante Motto „Nothing to Hide!“ Doch natürlich gab und gibt es jede Menge zu verbergen. Wie sehr gerade Sprache dafür eingesetzt wird, Sachverhalte zu verbergen, zu verschleiern oder zu beschönigen, zeigte maha, Professor für Sprachwissenschaften in Bamberg.

In seinem Vortrag „Neusprech im Überwachungsstaat“ legte …

„Die Quanten sind doch eine hoffnungslose Schweinerei!“, soll Niels Bohr einst an Albert Einstein geschrieben haben. Schweinerei hin oder her, die Quantenphysik ist auf jeden Fall ein faszinierendes Themenfeld, weil sie unser Wissen darüber, wie die Welt funktioniert, grundlegend in Frage stellt. Quantencomputer und Quantenkryptographie sind auf dem Chaos Communication Congress immer wieder …

Nach jedem Congress gibt es üblicherweise eine Reihe von Geräten, die wir weniger gerne nutzen als vorher. Auch auf dem 31C3 in Hamburg wurden in bester Congress-Tradition einige Technologien ordentlich auseinandergenommen und ihre Schwachstellen offengelegt. Manche sorgten dabei für Gelächter und Kopfschütteln.

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 …

Der Chaos Communication Congress ist in den letzten Jahren rapide gewachsen. Von 3.500 Leuten in Berlin hat sich unsere Teilnehmerzahl auf 6.000, dann 12.000 und nun 15.000 in Leipzig gesteigert. Während die Infrastruktur weitgehend problemlos mitgewachsen ist, mussten wir uns einigen neuen Herausforderungen stellen, die bei Veranstaltungen dieser Größe hinzukommen.

Wir stellen daher unser zentrale Anlaufstelle für Hilfsangebote auf dem Congress und unsere neue Schiedsstelle vor.

Feeling and being safe at Chaos Communication Congress

The Chaos Communication Congress rapidly grew in size over …

“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 …

Tl;dr: Read at least the Important part and register your assembly on signup.c3assemblies.de as soon as possible, but not later than Friday, November 23rd.

Year after year we called for you to come, assemble, build, hack and to be awesome. Last year we asked you to assemble the assemblies to become one even more awesome creature. It was splendid. This year, it shall be created again and thus we call: Assemble, Launch, Go!

For now, most of the exhibition hall is void. Calm. Unwritten. It’s up to us to create spaces, to fill it with lights, sound and atmosphere, with hacks and gear and people. …
