I’m going to visit the 25C3 located in Berlin starting at the 27th of December and ending at the 30th.
Today the 26 of December 2008 I’m going to travel to the 25C3. For that I have to travel about 300 km. But what is the 25C3? And why I’m going to travel 300 km for it?

What is the 25C3?

The 25th Chaos Communication Congress (25C3) is the annual four-day conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). It takes place at the Berliner Congress Center (BCC) in Berlin, Germany. The Congress offers lectures and workshops on a multitude of topics and attracts a diverse audience of thousands of hackers, scientists, artists, and utopians from all around the world. The 25C3s slogan is “Nothing to hide”.

Why I go there?

Well I hear a lot about the CCC, mainly though the podcast. But all that comes through their internet direct into my computer without any social interaction. The 25c3 is a possibility to get out, in touch with other people, living a live like I do mainly. And last but not least, to get out of my room. Last year was very exiting, it was the first time I visited the congress – the name was 24C3 and the slogan was ‘Volldampf voraus!’ (literally “Full Steam Ahead”).

I think this year will be very interesting too. There are some interesting lectures and workshops I’m planing to visit and write about. Also I’m planing to post a review and some pictures of every day.

Please let me know if you are going to be at the congress too.
