Like in the previous years, we’re going to supply everyone, and especially those of you who cannot attend 31C3, with live streams (also see the wiki for more information) and recordings of (almost) all of the talks in the four lecture halls of this year’s Congress. In addition, we’ll also support the Sendezentrum, the Lounge and the ambient Chillout Area with their streaming efforts.
Since the first congress of 1984 there have been plenty of voluntary auxiliary carbon compounds that make the whole congress possible. They run everything: introduction of speakers, audio/video streams and recordings, data, electricity and phone networks, bars, build-up, tear-down and even emergency services.
Your engagement as an Angel is the perfect opportunity to become a part of congress and make it even more amazing for everyone involved. Apart from that, volunteering is a great chance to meet new people.
In return, the angels get a quiet space to relax; the famous ‘Heaven’ includes …
“Seidenstrasse”, the popular pneumatic tube delivery system made from vacuum cleaners and drainage pipe at 30C3 will reappear at the 31C3.
Besides sending and receiving bits like you are used to, it will also be possible again to send capsules containing “real” stuff like cookies, hard drives and many more things.
In addition Seidenstrasse supports onion routing to enable you to communicate anonymously.
We also want to let you know: We have not yet received an order under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act.
To have a pneumatic tube system again this year, we need your help!
If you borrowed …
After the big success of the Art & Culture track at the 30c3 we knew it would be hard to get a program as good as this one again. But yes, we succeeded. We got some great submissions to our lovely planning systems and we acquired some others.
I want to make a short walk through of the A&C track to give you a glimpse on what you can expect from these talks. Please note that the talks here have no particular order:
If you still need a ticket for 31c3, your should order right now!
The ticket shop will not accept any new orders after December 12th, 23:59:59 CET. Your payment must reach us before Dec 23th.
We’re doing this in order to grant everybody enough time to make the payment. There will be a limited on-site sale too, but if you want to speed up the process at the entrance, better buy your ticket online right now. Keep in mind that we only accept cash at the venue!
If you have already paid for your ticket, but it has not been marked as paid on the website within 5 days of your payment, please contact …
We did it! Together we managed to create this years Congress’ Fahrplan. The content teams had a hard work finding the right talks for you, you did the halfnarp and now we have the pleasure to present the Fahrplan (ver 0.9 2014: A Congress Odyssee) of the 31st Chaos Communication Congress. A big thanks to everyone involved!
We see each other in Hamburg at 31C3!
Die Entscheidung, wer Preisträger des „Troll des Jahres“ im Jahr 2014 werden soll, ist der Jury nicht leicht gefallen. Ein Faktor der dieses Jahr den Ausschlag für die Preisvergabe gegeben hat, ist die Größe des gesellschaftlichen Problems gegen die sich der oder die Nominierten mit Hilfe von Trollerei engagieren. Weiterhin ist natürlich auch der erreichte Effekt im Hinblick auf das Ziel des oder der Nominierten eine wichtige Entscheidungsgrundlage. Betrachtet man die Nominierten unter diesen beiden Faktoren (Zielsetzung, Erfolg) genauer, so ist die Entscheidung der Jury wahrscheinlich …
Attention: registration for the chaos mentors program has closed”
The time has arrived again – 31C3 is coming up. After the premiere of our “Chaospatinnen” concept worked out really well last year, we are happily looking forward to continue the model at the 31C3. Chaosmentors are getting ready to support new visitors through their first Congress experience.
You are interested in Computers, Technology, Hacking and digital Rights? You’d like to participate, but feel alone with your questions?
You don’t think you count as a hacker or programmer and have doubts if you fit at 31C3? …
Placing lectures into time slots is the most crucial part of constructing a solid Fahrplan. Some speakers like presenting early in the morning, while some entertainment sessions belong to the night program for obvious reasons. That’s the easy part.
But minimizing potential collisions between events is an art, as we’ve learnt over the past years. Sometimes, we underestimate the interest in certain events or fail to anticipate two lectures’ attracting a highly similar crowd.
Such collisions can cause quite some frustration. Imagine not being able to attend one of two (or even two of three) …

We’ve opened the 31C3 ticket shop. You can buy tickets online at https://tickets.events.ccc.de/.
You’ll notice we had to raise prices slightly.
It is awfully difficult to predict the total income for an event of this size. Maybe the price for a standard ticket is 10€ too much now, depending on how many people will come. If that turns out to be true, we’ll reduce it again next year.
In the meantime, if you can’t afford to pay the standard price, don’t hesitate to use the “Apply” button on the bottom right of the page. It will present you with a text input and send a mail on …
Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Julia, dodger and erdgeist, the 31C3’s “meta content team”. Our mission is to coordinate the five so called “track teams” introduced for the 30C3 conference. We would like to give you a better idea of how the 31C3 Fahrplan is orchestrated, for what reasons lectures are accepted and rejected and how we strive to make the conference program even more interesting.
From the introduction you might have noticed that there is not a single entity deciding what you see at the conference and there is not a benevolent dictator judging by personal …
