If you are multilingual and fluent in German, English and maybe other languages, please consider joining the translation team.

We want to interpret as many talks in as many channels as possible, live and in real time. Our work is transmitted live in the streams, and recordings are published on CCC sites and YouTube. For each event we have two channels for interpreted content. In the first, German talks are interpreted into English, or vice versa. A second translation channel translates into languages other than English or German – what we do there depends on availability and on the interests …

The end of the year is near and so is the second edition of the Remote Chaos Experience (rC3 2021). Many helping hands have been preparing everything for months now, so hopefully our virtual get-together will once again be a highlight of the year. After gaining some experience last year and spontaneously finding creative solutions for a lot of problems, this year we hope for an even better event.

But we cannot achieve this on our own. Like every year, we are again …

For the upcoming rC3-nowhere we seek new heralds.

Your job as a herald is to guide the people through the talks. From introducing the speaker, curating and asking questions from the audience, to moderation of an Q&A session, you are the host of the talk.

Are you ready to write and hold an introduction (30sec-1min) to the speaker and talk and announce it in front of a big crowd? Are you ready to improvise on stage? If so, we want to get in touch with you. From the 13-19.12.2021 we want to have a short videochat with you.

Please write us a mail until the 12.12.2021 to rc3heralds@hanse.de …

It is the time of the year again - the presale for the remote Chaos Experience starts on the 3.12. around 12 pm. The presale will we available at https://tickets.events.ccc.de/RC3-21/ starting on friday.

Last year we dared to try an experiment and created a remote Chaos Experience. This year the pandemic situation did not improve as much as all of us were hoping. Thus we have need for a new edition of the rC3.

Just like before you will need a personal account to get access to rc3.world. This account will be generated for the event using your ticket.

The most important points about the ticket …

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 …

Against all our expectations, wishes and dreams, there won’t be an in-person Congress again this year. But in all likelihood, it won’t be a fully remote Congress either. And it won’t be just a repeat of last year. It’s going to be a new de-centralized (remote) Congress, with local spaces hosting events and distributed stages.

The stages are managed by individual channels. Each channel has its own focus and Call for Participation.

In this Meta CfP, we’re presenting all the channels. We also want be transparent about what we want to present at rC3 - NOWHERE.

Common …

rC3 will take place again this year, online only. Now here in the nowhere. Nowhere here and now. No, where?

This year’s motto is “NOWHERE”.

Humanity and climate crisis. Poverty and hunger. Value inflation. The second pandemic year. At the same time … Tourists in space. Political games. Insecurity and frustration everywhere.

Meanwhile a short conversation somewhere at/over a little German data toilet.

“Hey, what to do? No Chaos Communication Congress event? Nothing? Nowhere?” “Hold on. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. An online event at …

Last week we had to announce the decision to cancel this year’s congress. Alas, we don’t want to leave you alone at the end of the year and come back to our experiences and wonderful moments of last year’s rC3.

What can I expect?

Many crews worked on their own tools during the course of the year to optimize the interaction between WorkAdventure and the platform. We also have many ideas for the design of the 2D world – but it needs you to come alive.

Furthermore, we want to come back to our idea of having smaller, local events in your own hackspaces. This includes the joint programme with …

Over the past few weeks, we have carefully evaluated the possibilities for a Chaos Communication Congress 2021 in Leipzig. In a joint discussion of the many different teams involved in the organization, we have determined: The necessary protective measures and restrictions would distort the spirit of the event beyond recognition.

For this reason, we have jointly decided not to have a presence event in Leipzig this year.

We know that many of you were looking forward to a meeting in Leipzig. You would have gladly accepted restrictions, requirements and security precautions. At a certain point, …
