We finally made it. Again, way too much time passed to finish off the complete set of recordings due to a technical problem on day one which forced us to re-capture and re-edit a quarter of the recordings. It always good to have backups.

But now we can provide you with the complete set of recordings in both audio-only and the complete video version. All videos are sized 640×480 pixels and are superbly encoded featuring very low bitrates and an unusually good video quality at the same time. All files can be played back on the iPod. Thanks to the 23C3 video crew of FEM Ilmenau and CCC Ulm for …

We invite everybody to join us for a public visit of the location of the Chaos Communication Camp 2007 in Finowfurt. Everybody who wants to do a project, put up a really big tent, build a village or do anything special in one way or the other should come.

The visit takes places at Saturday, March 24th, 2007 at 14:00h. We will spend around two to three hours at the site depending on interest. Be careful to be on time as we won’t explain things twice. If you plan to come, please drop your name in the wiki.

We are currently producing a video documentary of the recent 23C3 event. We have tons of nice footage and interesting interviews, but we want more. So we are looking for cool quotes by speakers in the lectures being held at 23C3 and we want you to spot them for us as it is an enormous task for a few people but probably feasible for a huge crowd doing it in parallel.

So take a look at our preliminary video recordings (they are almost complete, just some talks of the first day are missing as they have to be re-captured from tape). We are looking for insightful statements that reflect our …

The date and location for the Chaos Communication Camp 2007 is now confirmed. The event is starting August 8th lasting until August 12th 2007. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen: we are going for five days this time.

The Camp will take place at a brand new location next to the Finow airport. So if you like, you can directly fly to the Camp. You can get to the location easily with a car in the less than 30 minutes starting in Berlin and we will make sure there is a shuttle connection to the next train station.

The coordinate of the location is 52.8317, 13.6779. You can use this Google Earth …

You might have noticed this server went away for a couple of days. Everything should be working again now. We apologize for the inconveniences.

While some 23C3 lecture recordings have already been leaked to the net, the official high-quality recordings are still in preparation (but making good progress). We do not encourage redistribution of the leaked videos as they lack proper license information, titles and correct meta-data. Please note that all material is released under CC-NC-

The to-be-released files come in MPEG-4 H.264 640×480 format and will be pretty small. The files are iPod-compatible and will hopefully be released as a podcast soon after.

Please contribute to our press review section and please also add longer blog posts about 23C3 as we consider them to be “press” as well. So far the list is lacking a lot of non-German reports. Thanks for your help.

We couldn’t be happier with how everything went. This have been four days of exciting activity and creativity, discussion and communication. Thanks to everybody for coming, sharing ideas and just being great.

Please give us some feedback. We really love to know about everything you liked or that can be done better next time.
Also you can tell us your opinion about every talk you saw. Go to the talk’s page in the Fahrplan and click at the green link.
