On the 22C3 Conference Streaming Homepage you can get information, how to receive the audio and video streams of the conference. The audio streams are offered as OGG and MP3. The video streams are being produced in a number of formats. As well, there is a streaming-relay outside, featured by the Streaming Crew of the Forschungsgemeinschaft elektronische Medien (FEM) Ilmenau, which uses the Windows Media Video format. There you can get some videos on demand already.
If you have trouble while watching the streams, check out the newest version of your media player, e.g. mplayer or VLC.
An easy way to find blogs and blogger writing about the 22c3, besides our weblogs site in the wiki, is using technorati.com. In addition to our collection of photo-galleries (add your gallery there), don’t forget about all the pictures on flickr.

There you will get an introduction, the golden rules for speakers and a copy of the proceedings if you submitted a paper in time.

We now have a feedback form online for every talk. You can help us when you give your opinion on all talk you visited at 22C3. It only takes you a few seconds to fill it out but it will be very, very helpful for us when we plan the next congress.

Also on the topic of being helpful: We need a printer for the infodesk (two printers would be even better). We need network laser printers with PostScript. If you are at the …
