39C3: Feedback and lost+found

39C3 is over. Sadly. We hope that your journey home went well and that you had a good return to reality.

Those four days of living a utopia were far too short. There was so much more that one could have experienced, so many more things to discover, so many more people to meet, so many more talks to see … To our own regret, the length of the event can’t really be changed. But many other things can be! That is why we want to ask for your feedback. Let us know what you liked, but also what you didn’t like. We appreciate both praise and constructive suggestions for improvement! But you need to be …

After the closing, assemblies start emptying their spaces. Please take the time to tear down in an orderly and mindful way. Clear your tables quickly so that the Møbelhaus can carry tables and chairs away and that network and power infrastructure can …
