My Visit at 35th Chaos Communication Congress (35C3)

The Chaos Communication Congress (C3) is an annual congress for computer entuisasts. The congress is about computer security, ethics, policits and a lot more. I am attending to the C3 since a couple of years as a normal visitor. This time I want to document this visit a bit. For me it is not only a congress of workshops and lecutes. I am also enjoying to meet interesting persons. So that this time I am writing up my expierences at 35C3.

Preperation

Normally I dont really prepare for the C3. I just grab all my computer stuff to ensure I have to build something. This year I will not bring so much stuff to C3 because I want to attend to a few more talks and workshops but also having a bit more discussions. Very late but hopefully not too late I have submitted a lighning talk. Click here to have a look what I have submitted. It is currently in the status "submitted" which does mean nothing and unfortunately is the lightning talk schedule full but lets hope..

Goals

In front of I though about personal goals that I am trying to achive during this C3

  1. Writing this blog entry :-)
  2. Find a Open Source project I want to contribute to
  3. Improving my Go skills and learn if another programming language fits more to my need personal needs
    • Well, I have continoued the development in go around christmas with this two projects: highlander-api and snoop-api
  4. Starting the preperation for an talk next year. For sure I have to pass the Call for Participation.
