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

Dear life forms participating in Congress,

tomorrow, 36c3 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 Hall 2 – Gate 2.5, Hall 2 – Gate 2.6 and Hall 3 – Gate 3.6 for loading. There will be angels with pallet trucks to help to move your stuff to the gates. Entry to the premises has to happen via Gate Süd 1. We kindly ask you to first pack your stuff, move it …

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 36c3@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 Hall 2 – Gate 2.5, Hall 2 – Gate 2.6 and Hall 3 – Gate …

tl;dr: we will operate our own cellular network at 36C3. Bring your
mobile phone(s) and C3SIM card(s). Check the Wiki for latest status and device support.

Like previous years at 36C3 the C3GSM team will run a local cellular
network for mobile phones, alongside the
POC’s DECT system and the NOC’s IPv4 and IPv6 systems. As core network
for our cellular network we use the open source projects osmocom (for
2G/3G) and NextEPC (for 4G). There will only be a very limited number of
SIM cards available to buy. However, cards from previous CCC events can
be used, so please don’t forget to bring them. …

TL;DR

The buildup and teardown of 36C3 needs angels!

If you want to help with the buildup, you can come to Messe Leipzig from the 18th of December and show up in Heaven (CCL) or in hall 4 for info.
Bring warm clothes and solid shoes. Safety shoes, if you have some.
Be careful – buildup means the halls are construction sites! Take care of yourself and others. Stay in safe distance from vehicles and heavy machines and leave your pets at home. Please don’t bring children before the official start of the event if possible.
If you can stay a couple of days longer and want to earn eternal angel …

Last Sunday at midnight the submission period for our Call for Participation ended. The last submission, by a Swiss, landed just in time at 23:59:20 UTC. Our content curation teams will now use the next two weeks to review, rate, sort, and ultimately decide on a large number of submissions. We intend to inform all submitters on November 11th on whether we found a place for them in our Fahrplan.

At the time of our coordination meeting on Sunday there were 690 pending submissions in our system. To put this into perspective: If you would want to just spend a minute to review them all, you would …

We now are able to announce that we can offer some low-budget sleeping accommodation in Leipzig. After negotiations with the city administration, we now have two locations available.

The locations will be available from 26th to 31st of December and are open around the clock.

Tickets will be sold at the 36C3 cash desk on site. The price will be €10 per night and person. This year, you can also buy tickets for …

Dieses Jahr gibt es im Nachtprogramm wieder was Neues: Die Sprachhacker unter uns übernehmen die große Bühne und liefern sich einen unterhaltsamen Wettstreit um die wortgewandteste Darbietung aus dem Hacker-Universum. Das Publikum wird entscheiden, welches von Euch selbst geschriebene und vorgetragene Stück Prosa, Lyrik, welche lustige Geschichte oder erfrischende Erinnerung aus Eurer Sysadmin-Arbeit, Euren Romanzen, WebDev-f*ckUps oder Congress-Erfahrungen den höchsten Unterhaltungswert hat. Den Gewinnern winken attraktive Preise!

Los geht es am Tag 3 um 1:10 Uhr in Saal Adams.

Nutzt doch die …

Das einundzwanzigste Türchen.

Eine echte Bank im Programm des Chaos Communication Congress sind die Security Nightmares, präsentiert von Ron und Frank, die sich in eingespielter Manier und mit wachsendem Zynismus die Bälle zuwerfen. Exemplarisch sei heute die Ausgabe vom 30C3 herausgegriffen, die ihrerseits die Nummer 14 der ausgesprochen traditionsreichen Vortragsreihe ist.

Das Jahr des 30C3 war auch das Jahr …

Das zwanzigste Türchen.

Die inflationäre Verwendung des Begriffs „Terror“ ist schwer zu ignorieren. Im Jahr 2007 jedoch gab Anne Roth auf dem Chaos Communication Congress einen persönlichen und bedrückenden Einblick in die Situation einer Familie, die plötzlich unter Terrorverdacht nach Paragraph 129a StGB steht.

In ihrem Vortrag „What is terrorism?“ zeigt sie, wie leicht man aufgrund vager Beschuldigungen des …

We’ve finally put everything together and are happy to announce: The registrations for the Self-Organized Sessions are open and waiting for you in the 35C3 event wiki.

Self-Organized Sessions are your chance to present a topic that is dear to you in a way that works best for you: It may be a workshop or a lecture, it may be a discussion, but it could also be a contest or a game. You can choose any duration between as short as 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.

For 35C3 we’ll have six rooms designated for self-organized sessions. They vary in size, seating and equipment. The smallest of these is for …
