It’s time to round up for the usual date at the end of the year for the 21st annual Chaos Communication Congress. In order to make this event even bigger and noticably better, the 21C3 sports a hack centre that has been clearly improved in terms of size and infrastructure compared to last year, a new Art & Beauty area and many other small, but important details. As in the years before, we estimate to attract about 2,500 visitors from all over the world. We plan to meet the demands of our increased international audience through more talks in English by international speakers.
Under the motto The Usual Suspects we call upon all hackers of the world to give presentations and attend discussions on current technological insights, new aspects in research and the sociopolitical impact of applied modern technology. Three daily conference tracks with around 100 talks and workshops will cater for a broad variety of topics.
The congress’ organizational committee needs assistance for the preparation of the congress. If you got some spare time and feel like playing a part in the months before the congress, please contact us at <21c3-orga@cccv.de>. Most work is due on location in Berlin, Germany, but this isn’t mandatory. We’re also looking for project managers who want to play a part in the event.
The Call for Papers will be published on the congress website. Anyone is welcome to submit a talk. The papers submitted will be selected for the programme starting August, 2004. First confirmations for accepted talks and presentations will be issued around September.
