MRMCD 2017: Schedule and end of presale

Fri, 11 Aug 2017 15:14:14 +0000

Finally, we can present you a preliminary schedule for this year’s MRMCD! We are happy to see the wide range and diversity of the topics covered in the submitted talks and workshops. You can find the schedule here: https://cfp.mrmcd.net/2017/schedule/.

Please be patient with us: Our schedule still is a young plant that needs to grow. Not all speakers have already confirmed their appearance yet and some talks will still shift their exact times.

If you did not do so already, you can buy one of the very last tickets in our ticket shop. We assume that the presale will be sold out very soon. There will be a handful of tickets for sale on site, but since the capacity of the building is limited we cannot promise you to get in without a ticket from the presale.

If you have any questions, you can reach us at parkaufsicht()mrmcd.net.

MRMCD 2017: Bundesdatenschau – Call for Participation

Mon, 22 May 2017 10:34:19 +0000

The MetaRheinMainChaosDays (MRMCD) are proud to announce that they will host the first Bundesdatenschau (federate data show) on September 1st to 3rd – we’re looking forward to all kinds of data accompanied by their owners! We are looking for talks und workshops taking an in-depth look at the usage of public data and the protection of private data. We’re asking: How are public data resources (ab)used? Where and how has data been made public that shouldn’t have been? Who’s grabbing private data, and what are you doing against it? We’re interested in both social and technical answers. You can submit your talks or workshops at https://cfp.mrmcd.net/2017/ until July 23rd.

The MRMCD are an annual IT conference of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). It is organized by the MRMCD e. V. in cooperation with local hackerspaces, CCC groups, and nearby universities. The conference takes place on the first weekend of September, as per usual. This year’s conference location is the Piloty building of TU Darmstadt, where the MRMCD have taken place previously in 2010.

If you’re interested in submitting a talk, but you aren’t quite sure about the suitability or wording – please reach out to us at parkaufsicht [at] mrmcd.net. If you’re a first-time speaker, we’re happy to help you, too. If you have ideas for great talks or speakers, we’d be excited to hear those.

More information on the event can be found on 2017.mrmcd.net.

mrmcdX: Call for participation

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 22:23:44 +0000

From September, 2nd to September 4th, 2011, the 10th MetaRheinMain ChaosDays (short: mrmcdX) will take place. They are organized by Chaos Darmstadt, Chaos inKL., cccffm, CCC Mainz, CCC Mannheim, as well as oqlt.

The congress is all about hacking (both technical and social aspects) and now being held for the tenth time. The location will be (like in the last few years) the Piloty building of Darmstadt University of Technology (49.877491° N, 8.654536° E). For three days, talks, workshops, discussions and a hackcenter will be offered. Furthermore, you will not need to starve as there’ll be both breakfast and barbecue available.

We are looking forward to your suggestions for workshops and talks which fascinate our broadly interested technical audience. In the past years, we covered topics like open source projects, applied and theoretical cryptography, security, social networks, embedded systems, programming languages, anonymity, internet policy or rocket science.

Submissions are gladly accepted via the Pentabarf submission system at https://cccv.pentabarf.org/submission/mrmcdX. Speakers will receive free entry for the complete event (but no free caffeine supply).

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us via mail at mrmcd-ref@chaos-darmstadt.de. The official IRC channel is #mrmcdX in the hackint IRC network.
