Hey all, We are in the process of planning a trip to the 29th Chaos Communication Conference (29C3) in Berlin, Germany this December. The event is scheduled for the 27th-30th of December and features a variety of lectures and workshops on technical and political issues. Another important part of the Congress is the hack center allowing room for around 600 people to operate their devices. The hack center and other areas of the Congress are connected to the Internet with a broadband connection. The hack center is considered a huge laboratory for operating and testing modern network technology and software. We are looking at prices and feasibility at the moment and would ask anyone who is interested in going to let us know. Once we have numbers, we can work out approximate number of people who will go, we can work out the costs of the trip. For more information on the contents of the conference or for videos of last year use the links below: C3 wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress Information on the organisers: Organiserhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Computer_Club Videos from last year: http://www.youtube.com/28c3 If anyone has any other ideas for trips for next year let us know and we'll look into it.
