jolly and laforge from the osmocom team are planning to operate an experimental ISDN and analog telephony network at the Camp! This network will be provided for people to re-enact the good old telephony days, using anything as old as rotary dial phones, up to the 1990s ISDN experience. So if you still have your old wired telephones or ISDN equipment in a basement, feel free to bring it along and hook it up.

Types of interfaces

We can offer

• analog POTS ports, exposed as classic 2-wire “ab” interface according to German standards
• ISDN ports using Uk0 interface, using 4B3T according to German …

Dear friends of fact-checking,

we guarantee this is not fake: The sale of tickets and merch for this year’s MRMCD (“Who owns reality?”) has begun at https://presale.mrmcd.net/mrmcd/2023/. We made five kinds of ticket available, hoping one of them matches your financial reality. We recommend you create precedents during the presale since obtaining a ticket at the box office might be unrealistic. Furthermore, our environmentally certified t-shirts and hoodies, printed by a social institution, are only available during the pre-sale.

We also welcome submissions for talks about a diverse set …

TL;DR: Like last time, we offer you a possibility to buy drinks by the crate at cheaper prices than at the bar.

The camp is approaching fast, and we are excited! Most of us have already started planning, and a serious question arises: where do we get our Mate? If this question keeps you up at night, we have good news: you can buy your mate at the camp! For the duration of the camp , you can buy crates of cold drinks directly from the Bar-Team!
We provide Mate, beer, a variety of lemonades and cola.
We are also planning an ice cube sale this time.

From your place to the camp

Has this ever happened to you? You’re packed and eager to bike to camp. But you must admit: three suitcases and two tents are like really bulky. So you scrounge grandma’s SUV and quickly click a parking ticket. Oh, they cost money, too. So you check for a cheap nearby parking garage, what it costs, how you’re going to haul the stuff to camp, and TOOT: Some train nerds are posting stuffed animals on …

The most important bit up front: We will release more tickets, to be sold starting tomorrow, July 11th, 20:00 CEST!

After the last round of ticket sales, we had an unusually large amount of orders that were never paid. Combined with an average ticket price of EUR 376.29 that remained noticeably below our goal of EUR 380, we had hoped for both a fuller camp ground and a less uncomfortable budget. (Remember, we shared our budget and the reason for our ticket prices here.

If we don’t sell out completely on Tuesday, we’ll continue to run a normal presale until all tickets are gone or …

Für Kurzentschlossene (und alle anderen) …

Our reality is undergoing radical transformation. The global climate is changing, and that doesn’t just affect the weather.

The products of machine learning have reached a quality that makes it impossible for most people to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. “Facts” are generated as desired and accompanied by appropriate evidence in words, images and sound. The line between fact and fantasy becomes blurred and is controlled by whoever has the biggest following.

This situation inevitably leads us to the question: Who owns reality?

We are looking for talks and workshops that …
