Day 1 is over. At least for me. The schedule will go on till 1 AM tomorrow I think, but I’m reviewing my opinion on what I saw today.
Like it was written on twitter, there where too few seats for to many people. I got lucky and after 1 minutes of waiting I got a seat with table and a power plug in ‘Saal1′ ( = room 1) – just perfect to surf and listen. I have to admit, I didn’t made it to the 2 first lectures I wanted to go to because of my notebook not File Vaulting fast enough. But the once after this first two have been very interesting. About the German ‘Hackerparagraphen‘ and building hackerspaces.org. I think if you are interested in what the keynotes topics where, just go over to the video archive of the congress at the wiki.
Preview Day 2
The list of interesting lectures, which I’m trying to visit:
- 11:30 AM: Jahresrückblick
- 02:00 PM: Attacking Rich Internet Applications
- 04:00 PM: Blinkenlights Stereoscope
That’s a pretty short list I think but hey, I want to have a look at the other things at the congress too. For example the Hardware area close to the hackcenter. And maybe there is a great workshop.
Planing
For me all looks pretty interesting, but I have to say that if I have the choice next year to go to the congress or have some great days with friends watching movies or so. I’ll choose the friends cause the congress is not that much of information I would valuate, and the few which are valuable, can be watched via stream or recording. Maybe that opinion change over the next two days? Or not.
For this year, I planed to stay for 4 days but now I’m going to leave at the 28th of December cause the congress does not give me what I thought it would be like. That means no preview or review after tomorrow, maybe a review of the congress how I experienced it and the coverage from external.
