Die Anmeldung für das Easterhegg 2006 ist jetzt online.

We expected to be done by now but there is still work to be done. Main problem is that we have to manually rearrange around 50 sessions to fix the audio syncing which was garbled due to technical problems. But we are making progress, step by step and we are slowly reaching the end of the tunnel.

As the stuff is ready, it will be available both via BitTorrent and a podcast (podcast might kick in a bit later to wait for the main rush to flow down).

Thanks for your patience.

Der Entropia e.V. – Chaos Computer Club Karlsruhe lädt im fünften Jahr zur GPN Programmiernacht ein. Am Wochenende vom 9. bis 11. 6. 2006 wird sich in den Räumen der HS(ex-FH) Karlsruhe eine hackerfreundliche Mischung aus Vorträgen, Workshops, Projekten, Chillout und Chaos entfalten und den Besuchern Gelegenheit bieten, ihr Wissen zu mehren und zu verbreite(r)n.

Die GPN hat sich inzwischen als süddeutsches Hackerevent etabliert und in den letzten Jahren für viel positives Feedback gesorgt. Auch dieses Jahr wollen wir uns wieder mit den Auswirkungen von Technik auf den Einzelnen und die …

HOPE Number Six

July 21-23 2006

The Hotel Pennsylvania

New York City

HOPE Number Six (www.hopenumbersix.net) is this summer’s hacker

conference sponsored by 2600 Magazine. Presenters and artists from all

nationalities and disciplines are again invited to participate in this

forum. HOPE Number Six covers all aspects of hacking, the community

surrounding it, and its effects across the world.

For three days, The Hotel Pennsylvania will be the nexus of discussion,

planning, and activity for hacker ideas, opportunities, and

understanding.

There are several ways to participate:

• Speak: Presentation …

We are promoting our English language Chaosradio podcasts now under a new label called Chaosradio International to make clear what is easily consumable by non-German speakers. We released episode CRI005 today and you can access the other four episodes as well that feature interviews with selected speakers of 22C3.

Okay. Good news on the horizon. All videos are collected, a naming scheme is defined and we have sorted out our formats. The encoding machines are ready to run. And will be started any moment.

To give you the chance for some final checking, we have put up some samples for the various formats for you to test. So if you are technically inclined you might want to check them out in terms of quality and compatibility. The sample is always the same two minute clip.

• MPEG-4 H.264 320×240 iPod Video compatible (MPEG-4 H.264 Baseline Profile Video, MPEG-4 AAC Audio, MP4 Container, 0,23 MBit/s)
• MPEG-4 …

“…it’ll probably be only days away.”

More info from the people working on them here.

After pointing you to a German summary in our podcast let’s also point you to four podcast interviews done with 22C3 speakers. Each podcast begins with a short German introduction but the interviews are held in English.

• CRE010: Régine Débatty (lecture, speaker info)
• CRE011: Joi Ito (lecture, speaker info)
• CRE012: Eric Blossom (lecture, speaker info)
• CRE013: Jacob Appelbaum (lecture one and two, speaker info)

We should have done more of this stuff! And we certainly will in the future.

Dear English-speaking readers of this blog: The remainder of this post is in German. Sorry for that, but the podcast featured is in German as well.

Aus unerfindlichen Gründen haben wir den Podcast Chaosradio Express hier noch nie erwähnt. Vor dem 22c3 gab es einige Sendungen, die sich mit dem Congress und seinen Vorbereitungen beschäftigt haben. Letzte Woche gab es dann den Chaosradio Express 014 (mp3, website), der auf den vergangenen 22. Chaos Communication Congress zurückblickt. Im Gespräch lassen Tim Pritlove und Jens Ohlig ausgewählte Vorträge und Präsentationen des Congress Revue …

While you are anxiously waiting for the 22C3 recordings why not take a look at the just released lecture video recordings of the last HITBSecConf2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that took place last September. HITBSecConf is an annual security related conference in Kuala Lumpur that’s worth checking out run by a charming team. You’ll find some speakers there that have been giving a lecture at 21C3 and 22C3 as well.

There has been some confusion regarding the AV recordings and slides of the 22C3 lectures. So let us explain what is coming and that everything will be fine.

The good news is: everything has been recorded! Yes, we have had our accidents but the fallback systems have worked so nothing is lost. As quite a few recordings have to be recovered from tape, the whole process will take a while but we are confident that we can deliver what everybody wants by the end of January.

More confusion has been generated as a couple of recordings have been available in WMV format up front which made many people …

Some people still get it wrong but I’d like to clarify it here one more time: it’s neither the “Chaos Computer Conference” nor the “Chaos Computer Congress”. It’s the “Chaos Communication Congress“. Not that it is too important but in the end we would be happy if you would just get it right ;)

In case you’re still confused, just stick to the “xxC3” moniker we have established in the recent years. It’s our primary choice for tagging as well.

Thanks for listening. This was a recording.
