29C3 presale has started
- terhechte 14y agoCouldn't find any info about it, but when will it be held?
- patrickod 14y agohttps://events.ccc.de/congress/2012/wiki/Main_Page https://events.ccc.de/congress/2012/wiki/Main_Page The conference is held every year between Christmas and New Years. The dates this year are the 27th to the 30th of December.
- patrickod 14y agoHaving attended 28C3 last December I'm really disappointed I'll not be able to make it this year. These events are always incredibly interesting and packed with great people and ideas.
- buster 14y agoWrong City, the CCC belongs to berlin :(
- at_kjellski 14y agoHave you been in berlin before? At the more famous talks you couldn't even stand at hall 1, now there shouldn't be any problems: https://twitter.com/Kjellski/status/257147441948807168 https://twitter.com/Kjellski/status/257147441948807168 I've posted more pictures with floor plans and the accessibility for whellchairs is way better. I really loved berlin and I hope we'll have as much fun in hamburg.
- skrause 14y agoIt actually belonged to Hamburg first. Now it's back home.
- rdl 14y agoAt least now they probably have enough space.
- _ak 14y agoIf there only were a venue large enough available in Berlin.
- dillona 14y agoIt's unfortunate, and I liked Berlin a lot. But the new venue should allow a lot more people to attend and participate, and in the end I think that is more important
- kennywinker 14y agoCouldn't find a primer on this event. What is it?
- lflux 14y agoChaos Communications Congress, an annual hacker convention in Germany run by CCC (Chaos Computer Club). Usually notoriously hard to get tickets to, but this year they switched venues (and cities) so hopefully it won't be an issue this time around.
- oomei0IN 14y agoAnd notoriously hard basically means "gone in 60 seconds".
- mcelat 14y agoIt's the 29th annual "Chaos Communication Congress (CCC)" [1], a symposium organized by the largest german hacker organization "Chaos Computer Club (ambiguiously also CCC)" [2] founded by Wau Holland [3] in 1981 [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Computer_Club http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Computer_Club [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wau_Holland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wau_Holland

- csense 14y agoI was excited when I saw that something in hexadecimal was going on sale. Only to be disappointed when I realized it wasn't 0x10c [1]. [1] http://0x10c.com/ http://0x10c.com/
- follower 14y agoI attended 25C3 four years ago and really enjoyed it. Some thoughts if you're considering going: 1) You should go. :) 2) Being only able to speak English (aside from picking up helpful words like "ein" and "bitte" :) ) was fine. Talks are listed as being in English or German so you know which ones you'll be able to follow. (And I think the majority are in English--it tends to be the more "local issues" talks that are in German.) 3) Arrive the day before and volunteer to help set up. It's a good way to get to meet some people. (The network help desk was where I ended up much of the time--I learned that the only German word I needed to know was "Neustart". :D ) 4) When a local offers you a Club Mate to drink, accept it. Then try not to spit it out when you drink it. It's a rite of passage. Quite possibly the most disgusting tasting beverage I've ever consumed. Some people claim to like it. 5) If you've been to DEFCON before, CCC is IMO a very different vibe. DEFCON seems a lot more about the parties whereas CCC seems a lot more about the hacking. (People stay hacking in the venue 24 hours a day.) 6) If someone invites you to go to Vienna and visit Metalab say yes. And if they don't, invite yourself--it's awesome and they're a great bunch of people. 7) You should go. :)
- janerik 14y ago4) You get used to it. (hey, that's actually the slogan!)
- Argorak 14y ago4) Flora and other mate brands are slowly getting accepted as well. Less carbon.
- alx 14y agoFlora Power is made in Hamburg, during your visit you can go visit Ludger and Hans-Werner at http://www.reineckes.com/ http://www.reineckes.com/ they are really welcoming people :)
- Inufu 14y agoAs some from Metalab in Austria, I can only agree. Feel free to visit! Club Mate is definitely an acquired taste, but it grows on you - I really like it now. That said, you should definitely come - C3 is an amazing event, there are always great talks and sessions. If you need some help with German, just ask me ;)
- Inufu 14y agoAnyone up for a Hacker News meetup at the congress?
