hackers, security professionals, artists, nerds and other lifeforms,
watching how technology affects society.

Unlike earlier incarnations, this years congress will not only address the

Lectures are expected to be highly relevant in practice or better be
darn funny. Sales droids have been known to disappear without traces
on past events. Interactive Workshops welcome. Hands-On anything even
more welcome.

Intelligent beings wishing to present a paper should submit title and an
one- or two-paragraph abstract (in German or English), references and URLs,
a short biography, and contact information to congress-crew en ccc.de RSN, no
later than December 1st.

Notice of acceptance will be sent out as soon as possible. Final
presentations should be in English or German and be up to 45 or up to 100
minutes long, including a question-and-answer period.

As this is a non-profit organisation and non-profit event, the CCC will
not be able to compensate travel or hotel costs let alone a speaker honorar,
well, maybe travel costs. We are, however, able to arrange accomodation
for low or no cost.

The preliminary agenda will be published on the web
http://www.ccc.de/congress/ in the near future. Registration information
will be posted, too.

So, do you dare to speak in front of people who might have downloaded your
script from your computer in advance and spotted all the logical errors?

Do you read me, HAL?
