TL;DR

Phone number Registration open, from 15.12.2021 the complete telephony infrastructure will be live.

Dear Chaos,

together we had to tolerate a lot in the last few months. Time for some exclusively good news from your favorite OC. ;-) Registration for extensions on the rC3 2021 NOWHERE is open and you can register numbers. There will also be a distributed DECT network (#EPDDI) again. We are also lending RFPs (antennas) for locations like Chaos Studios, Hackerspaces & Chaostreffs again this year. Our plan is to have the complete telephony infrastructure live by 12/15/2021. So, dust off …

It’s been exactly one year since the pandemic crashed our party. The DiVOC (German: Digital Verteiltes Online-Chaos, means Digital Distributed Online Chaos) will be celebrating its first anniversary under the motto Reboot to Respawn (R2R) and will allow us to have a place on the net to meet and exchange ideas. Framed from Good Friday to Easter Monday (02.04. – 05.04.2021) with a program of talks, art and music.  :-)

To ensure that you can communicate undisturbed and unwatched as usual, there will be again a telephone infrastructure, which will technically correspond to that …

This year, the year-end event of the Chaos Computer Club will take place in the digital space. This poses new challenges for us as Phone Operation Center. But those who know us will already know that a “challenge accepted” is part of good manners.

For some time we have been working on a solution to enable a very large decentralized SIP & DECT telephone network. Our vision:

Network like at the congress – everywhere you want it.

Our plan is to have the SIP infrastructure in operation from the 15.11.2020 (0 o’clock). The DECT infrastructure is in productive operation since 10.11.2020. So …

We are pleased to inform you that even with Resource Exhaustion the registration of telephone extensions for the 36th Chaos Communication Congress is open. Don’t get confused by the social media, it works without any voucher :-). You can claim your DECT, SIP or GSM extension in the Generic User Registration Utility (GURU). Like last year, you can register your devices on site yourself. Don’t forget your devices and chargers, chasing records, this year we want to break last year’s 6488 extensions.

Stay connected!

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 …
