1 00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:35,220 *31C3 opening title video with music* 2 00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:36,640 Someone: Geht doch! 3 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:43,970 *applause* 4 00:00:43,970 --> 00:00:50,020 *sound of steps on the floor, breathing* 5 00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:53,800 erdgeist: Good morning and welcome everyone to the largest 6 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,660 hacker conference in the free world. 7 00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:04,300 *cheers and applause* 8 00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:07,840 Geraldine de Bastion: Good morning Hamburg, hello world! Wow, oh my goodness, 9 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,600 look at all of you here! My name is Geraldine, I first started attending 10 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,369 this Congress all the way back in 1999. And I remember so well 11 00:01:17,369 --> 00:01:22,259 walking into the dark, smoky central hackspace, and getting into all these 12 00:01:22,259 --> 00:01:26,439 random and really, really exciting conversations. And I also remember 13 00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:31,049 feeling so much more welcome than I ever thought would be possible. 14 00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:34,090 But I never thought I would be standing here today opening the show and this is 15 00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:36,900 such a huge honor. Thank you very much! 16 00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,959 *cheers and applause* 17 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,070 erdgeist: My name is erdgeist and I first attended Congress in 1998 18 00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:49,900 which is one year prior to Geraldine… …what a noob! 19 00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:54,700 *laughs* but I now officially attended 20 00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:59,619 more Congresses than I didn’t. Which means that now I’m old. 21 00:01:59,619 --> 00:02:04,790 And knowing all the love and enthusiasm that went into preparing this conference 22 00:02:04,790 --> 00:02:08,530 I’m so incredibly proud to see how everything worked out, how you 23 00:02:08,530 --> 00:02:13,760 got together, how this conference just blows everyone away. How you 24 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,790 showed up and made this work. Without anyone telling you what to do. 25 00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:19,790 Just amazing. 26 00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:22,330 Geraldine: So I know what you’re all thinking. We’re gonna spend the next 27 00:02:22,330 --> 00:02:25,830 half an hour selling you a show that you’ve already bought tickets for. And 28 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:29,810 this is kind of true. However we feel that we have hopefully something interesting 29 00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:34,060 to share with all of you here. But this also goes out to all the people who 30 00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:37,759 can’t be physically with us today, for various reasons. Watching from their 31 00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:42,340 telescreens at home. So whether you are watching by yourself, in front of 32 00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:45,810 your device, or you’re hosting a Congress-Everywhere event, 33 00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:48,951 and watching together with like-minded people, and whether you’re 34 00:02:48,951 --> 00:02:53,548 in Dar-es-Salaam, Tel Aviv or Chemnitz – welcome to the show! 35 00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:59,780 *cheers and applause* 36 00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:05,939 Now, last year when Tim did this opening the gravity of the situation 37 00:03:05,939 --> 00:03:10,780 that we’re all facing, in the post-Snowden era was of course apparent to everybody 38 00:03:10,780 --> 00:03:15,000 here in the room. But what is really important is that we manage to transport 39 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,670 our message out of these walls. To the general public. And people finally 40 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:23,260 started listening to what people in this room had to say. 41 00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:28,410 erdgeist: We know the services in the world are still out of control. 42 00:03:28,410 --> 00:03:32,269 And sometimes it’s a little frustrating that things are not moving faster. 43 00:03:32,269 --> 00:03:36,049 But we need to keep pushing towards a common goal. We need to keep 44 00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:42,830 our doors open to those that we want to reach with our message. 45 00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:46,650 Last year we were partying even though we figured out that people, smart people 46 00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:49,579 from our ranks, were working for the bad guys. 47 00:03:49,579 --> 00:03:53,910 Geraldine: Last year we were partying even though the complexity what was happening 48 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:57,319 was so deafening, and we couldn’t even find a Congress motto 49 00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:59,810 to express what we were feeling. 50 00:03:59,810 --> 00:04:03,780 erdgeist: But when we learned that the Google engineers started to raising 51 00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:08,579 their middle fingers towards the NSA, and started encrypting their server network 52 00:04:08,579 --> 00:04:12,709 communications we understood that this is not the end, but a new dawn. 53 00:04:12,709 --> 00:04:16,079 Geraldine: And when we learned that Whatsapp of all clients started 54 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:21,000 introducing end-to-end encryption, making it even more secure to use than De-Mail 55 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000 we learned that developers… 56 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,680 *laughter and applause* 57 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,740 …developers around the world weren’t standing back in shock. But rolled up 58 00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:35,580 their sleeves, and got to work. A New Dawn. 59 00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:39,690 erdgeist: And when we learned that you guys finally got over your differences 60 00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:44,730 and started the Letsencrypt project we understood 61 00:04:44,730 --> 00:04:47,920 that the community is not just standing by. And seeing our community 62 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,280 and the internet being split on by NSA and NHC… hehe, 63 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:56,920 and the British secret service. *laughs* 64 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,960 *laughter* 65 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,780 But you were working on it, and came together, and started fixing what 66 00:05:01,780 --> 00:05:06,040 we’ve been left with by the Snake Oil cert vendors of the world, 67 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,260 and the secret services. And you made it work, and I think that’s a New Dawn. 68 00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:16,250 And I’m very confident to say that this community, obviously, 69 00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:20,410 rolled their sleeves up, and made for once and for all clear that it’s 70 00:05:20,410 --> 00:05:25,340 not the shady spy agencies with their ridiculous budgets ruling the internet 71 00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:29,660 but we are. And it’s a New Dawn! 72 00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:35,160 *cheers and applause* 73 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,720 Geraldine: So now we would like to know who’s first Congress is this? 74 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,380 If you’re here for the first time can you give me a sign of hands? 75 00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:45,970 Ah, so many people! Huh! erdgeist: Amazing! 76 00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:49,240 Geraldine: That’s why you’re all here so early! Now I… 77 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,130 erdgeist: Everyone take a good look at them! Because… 78 00:05:52,130 --> 00:05:56,160 *cheers and applause* 79 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,780 …it’s because of them that we need to explain everything from square one. 80 00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:01,460 *laughter* *laughs on his own bad joke* 81 00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:04,570 Geraldine: But we would like to say thank you for that! For 2 reasons: 82 00:06:04,570 --> 00:06:08,710 a) we’d like to say thank you because it’s so important that we know how to explain 83 00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:12,380 everything from square one. And (b) it’s because of you guys that 84 00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:15,080 our community keeps growing every year. 85 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,500 erdgeist: And the community keeps growing because there’s all those tiny gems 86 00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,880 like the “Chaospatinnen” project. Which is our interpretation of 87 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,370 how a mentors program is supposed to work. 88 00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:29,280 Geraldine: So this is how it works. This year there are about 30 ‘Chaospatinnen’ 89 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:34,460 taking care of 100 new attendees called “Patenkinder”. They could apply for this, 90 00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:38,150 and it wasn’t just a random selection, but the ‘Chaospatinnen’ actually sat down 91 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:41,720 and made sure they matched their interests with the ones of the people that they 92 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,370 would be mentoring. And they’re basically gonna help show them around 93 00:06:45,370 --> 00:06:49,060 for the next 4 days, show them all the hidden secrets of the Congress, 94 00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:52,240 help them put together an advanced bucket list and make sure they get 95 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,990 the most out of this first Congress experience. 96 00:06:54,990 --> 00:06:59,820 erdgeist: And one of those ‘Chaos-Kinder’ is Elia. And he wrote 97 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:04,370 to the chaospatinnen mailing list. Said that over the last years he’s been 98 00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:08,630 fascinated in technology. And hacking. But he could never afford coming 99 00:07:08,630 --> 00:07:13,240 to the Congress. And now, for his 18th birthday his parents gave him 100 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,920 a ticket to this show, and a ticket to Hamburg. So welcome, Elia! 101 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:23,810 *applause and cheers* 102 00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:27,380 Geraldine: We’d also like to welcome Alex. Alex is a really good example why this 103 00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:31,080 program is so important. She’s studying math, and she’s studying cognitive 104 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,950 sciences and is currently working on her PhD. And she was yet never really sure 105 00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:40,680 whether she was supposed to come to Congress, whether this is the right place 106 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,210 for her. Because she didn’t feel like a real hacker. So we’d like to say: 107 00:07:44,210 --> 00:07:46,496 “Welcome, Alex! You’re perfect here!” 108 00:07:46,496 --> 00:07:50,010 *applause* 109 00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:53,830 And we would like to welcome one other ‘Chaos-Patenkind’ who’d like to 110 00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:57,580 stay anonymous. But she confessed to us that she used to have to spend 111 00:07:57,580 --> 00:08:02,150 the holidays eating so much unhealthy food, and celebrating with her family, 112 00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:05,740 and fixing computers. We just wanna say: we know what that’s like. 113 00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:07,960 We feel with you! Welcome! 114 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,510 *laughter, applause and cheers* 115 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:14,580 And we hope all of you have a great time. There’s a lot in store including 116 00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:19,460 a field day, a field trip, and even going backstage and getting to visit TIM. 117 00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:23,250 erdgeist: Hehe, yes, they’ve an audience with the TIM. And they’re going to see 118 00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:27,370 NOC, and they’re going backstage to the party. I’m so incredibly jealous, 119 00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:32,070 so I think next year I will apply for the ‘Chaospatinnen’ project, too. 120 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:38,070 Just… just for the trip. And what ‘Chaospatinnen’ is 121 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:43,559 for our new participants the ‘Press Angels’ corps is, 122 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,470 well, for the press. So if you come to the entrance and say 123 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:52,279 you’re a member of the press you get your complementary Press Angel. 124 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:58,300 Who will show you around, help you get a feel for the conference, 125 00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:03,279 show you all the nice spots and make you familiar with the 126 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,690 photo policy of this conference. And… *laughter and applause* 127 00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:14,180 …this service is of course not mandatory because, well, 128 00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:16,170 we are not in North Korea here… *laughs* 129 00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:18,899 Geraldine: Don’t make jokes about North Korea! You never know what’s gonna happen 130 00:09:18,899 --> 00:09:22,569 these days if you do that! *laughter* 131 00:09:22,569 --> 00:09:28,647 *loud distorted sound changing to lower frequencies* 132 00:09:28,647 --> 00:09:32,470 erdgeist: Oops! Geraldine: I thought that might happen! 133 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:35,480 erdgeist: *laughs* Damn! 134 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:44,980 So we know that there’s 2 students from the University of Kiel here 135 00:09:44,980 --> 00:09:46,730 *laughter* 136 00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:52,839 who have been getting their… I think I go over there, that’s just closer 137 00:09:52,839 --> 00:09:58,879 to my computer. So we have 2 students from the University of Kiel here 138 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:03,639 whose Prof sponsored them a ticket for this show. And I think this is 139 00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:07,019 a nice development. I think that all universities in Germany should make sure 140 00:10:07,019 --> 00:10:10,399 that their students get the best education possible. So… 141 00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:19,040 *Geraldine laughs* *applause* 142 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,370 And you may believe it or not. Like 16 years ago I started out 143 00:10:23,370 --> 00:10:28,639 like over 1000 of you last year and this year as a Chaos Angel. 144 00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:32,550 I’ve been sitting in my first Congress through the mandatory 145 00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:38,790 ‘TCP/IP for beginners’ lecture. And I would never have imagined that, 146 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:43,680 like 16 years later I would be standing in front of 3000 people and cracking jokes 147 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,170 about my ‘TCP/IP for beginners’ lecture and most of you would actually get it. 148 00:10:48,170 --> 00:10:54,060 Which is rather amazing! And, well, I feel jealous for the ‘Chaospatinnen’… 149 00:10:54,060 --> 00:10:59,839 no, for the mentees! Even though I did not have the head start Chaospatinnen project 150 00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:04,399 provides today I still felt very welcome, with the Chaos Angels and, well, 151 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:08,959 came back year after year. And… now. 152 00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:13,400 About those Chaos Angels: they’re the integral part of what makes 153 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:20,339 this conference work. And you over there, at the camera, what’s your name? 154 00:11:20,339 --> 00:11:24,730 Mario. Mario is a camera angel. And he’s 155 00:11:24,730 --> 00:11:28,540 helping at the conference. But I’m standing here getting all the good vibes, 156 00:11:28,540 --> 00:11:33,100 getting all the fame. And this is why I’m standing here! But this guy… 157 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,800 *laughter* has been paying full price. 158 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,430 And he’s still doing his shifts to make this conference work. And I want everyone 159 00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:43,589 to give him a warm round of aplause! 160 00:11:43,589 --> 00:11:53,709 *applause* 161 00:11:53,709 --> 00:11:58,511 I would also say that if you go outside and meet an angel just go and say 162 00:11:58,511 --> 00:12:03,290 thank you, and, well, actually do mean it! And if you’re being blocked from 163 00:12:03,290 --> 00:12:07,059 entering the lecture hall you want to attend just remember that the angel 164 00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:11,529 is volunteering, too. And, don’t be grumpy. 165 00:12:11,529 --> 00:12:17,439 Don’t be angry. Just say thank you, maybe turn around and watch the stream 166 00:12:17,439 --> 00:12:22,959 on the back of the hall. I would even go so far to say: 167 00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:25,819 make today Hug-an-Angel Day! *laughter* 168 00:12:25,819 --> 00:12:28,649 Geraldine: Consensually, of course! *laughter* 169 00:12:28,649 --> 00:12:33,459 So it’s all the ‘Chaospatinnen’, all the Chaos Angels that we’d like to say 170 00:12:33,459 --> 00:12:37,370 thankyou to. But we’d also like to give a shoutout to all the hundreds 171 00:12:37,370 --> 00:12:41,459 of volunteers that have made this event possible. It’s all the people that 172 00:12:41,459 --> 00:12:45,040 have set up the… yeah, the OC’s bringing the internet, the DECT 173 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,680 and GSM phone networks. It’s all the people who have put the schedule together 174 00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,930 for you, behind the cash desks, at the entry points, and also all the people 175 00:12:53,930 --> 00:12:56,779 that are doing translation service. We’re actually gonna translate 176 00:12:56,779 --> 00:13:00,759 all the German talks into English for you. And a whole bunch of the English talks 177 00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:05,540 into German, too. And you can even make requests which talk should be translated 178 00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:09,139 via Twitter. So it’s really all these people that are making this possible. 179 00:13:09,139 --> 00:13:11,310 And let’s give them a big round of applause. 180 00:13:11,310 --> 00:13:18,060 *applause* 181 00:13:18,060 --> 00:13:23,290 So. I am assuming that with around 200 people 182 00:13:23,290 --> 00:13:28,269 giving over 150 lectures over the next 4 days a couple of people presenting 183 00:13:28,269 --> 00:13:31,550 are in this room right now? Can you give me a sign of hand if you’re gonna be 184 00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:34,059 speaking on this or another stage in the next days? 185 00:13:34,059 --> 00:13:36,759 erdgeist: Yeah, there are some! Geraldine: Okay everybody, take 186 00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:40,389 a good look at these hands going up. In order for these people to be able 187 00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:44,930 to give their talks at least 2 other submissions were turned down. And so 188 00:13:44,930 --> 00:13:47,740 you better do a really, really god job. Otherwise you gonna have the wrath 189 00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:52,180 of about 30.000 people turned upon you. No pressure, no pressure! No – really! 190 00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:55,980 We would like to say thankyou to all of you as well, for coming here and sharing 191 00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:59,800 your knowledge. And we’d also like to say thank you for all of you who handed in 192 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,449 suggestions, whose ideas weren’t selected this year. 193 00:14:03,449 --> 00:14:08,259 erdgeist: Seriously, the number of rejected talks this year 194 00:14:08,259 --> 00:14:15,129 was heart-breaking. You know that we organized the content 195 00:14:15,129 --> 00:14:19,809 in tracks. Five different tracks, each being curated by a different track team. 196 00:14:19,809 --> 00:14:24,899 And in some of the track teams the ratio between accepted and rejected talks 197 00:14:24,899 --> 00:14:30,560 was close to 1:5. So if a lecture was not accepted that doesn’t necessarily mean 198 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,949 it was bad. But the competition was so brutal. So, thank you for your submission 199 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:43,660 and – I know it’s hard to ask to maybe just go and make your lecture 200 00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:48,720 a lightning talk. There’s still some slots free. Or present the topic 201 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,940 you wanted to present in a workshop. And this year 202 00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:57,230 in fixing up the Fahrplan we had some help from you guys. 203 00:14:57,230 --> 00:15:03,029 We’ve had that amazing tool where everyone of you 204 00:15:03,029 --> 00:15:08,699 could just submit their preferences and say what lectures they want to see. 205 00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:14,410 And we used that data wisely to make sure that for most of you 206 00:15:14,410 --> 00:15:18,569 you could see your favourite talk while not missing another talk 207 00:15:18,569 --> 00:15:21,019 you wanted to see. Well, except for that one guy. 208 00:15:21,019 --> 00:15:23,749 Geraldine: What? erdgeist: Yeah, we’re using heavy data mining 209 00:15:23,749 --> 00:15:27,860 and number crunching to make sure that, for that poor fellow’s guy 210 00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:31,889 all the lectures he wanted to see there was at least 2 conflicting lectures. 211 00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:36,410 So, you know who you are. *laughter* 212 00:15:36,410 --> 00:15:37,499 Just kidding! 213 00:15:37,499 --> 00:15:43,380 We’re still using the data from the tool, so if you keep submitting the preferences 214 00:15:43,380 --> 00:15:47,170 for your lectures we will know which lectures we need to stream outside, 215 00:15:47,170 --> 00:15:50,709 and the translation team is also using that numbers, to see what the interest 216 00:15:50,709 --> 00:15:52,429 in those lectures are. 217 00:15:52,429 --> 00:15:55,680 Geraldine: Okay, well. Hopefully that was gonna make all the rest of you enjoy 218 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,820 the show. Sorry for that one person! But in case this isn’t just hard enough 219 00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:04,029 with all this content going round: you’ve also thrown in over 100 workshops 220 00:16:04,029 --> 00:16:07,380 into the mix, all completely self-organized. There gonna be 221 00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:11,500 dozens of lightning talks, over 230 assemblies on anything from 222 00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:15,899 smartcard hacking, 3D printing… There’s even gonna be a cocktail bot. 223 00:16:15,899 --> 00:16:21,269 erdgeist: Yes, and to my delightment there’s a coffee nerd area in the 4th floor 224 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:24,850 I will definitely be hanging around in. *laughs* Yes! 225 00:16:24,850 --> 00:16:28,260 Geraldine: Applause for coffee nerds! *small applause* 226 00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:32,179 erdgeist: And I recommend to enjoy the crazy joyride that has been set up 227 00:16:32,179 --> 00:16:37,480 for you outside in the hall. There’s so much exhibitions. There’s the 228 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,819 second installment of the ‘Seidenstrasse’ which is an amazing construction. 229 00:16:41,819 --> 00:16:46,939 It’s last rehearsal before the Camp. And I recommend 230 00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:51,499 taking a dip into the ‘Bällebad’! Don’t forget to bring your towel. 231 00:16:51,499 --> 00:16:57,050 Nah! Tss! And… *laughter and applause* 232 00:16:57,050 --> 00:17:01,649 This all has been set up to fulfill the promise that has been 233 00:17:01,649 --> 00:17:05,819 at the core and in the name of the conference from the very beginning. 234 00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:08,029 It’s… communication! 235 00:17:08,029 --> 00:17:13,140 Geraldine: So we dare you: go out, go out here and talk to some random stranger 236 00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:17,290 about her project. Go and attend a lecture whose title and abstract 237 00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:21,970 you do not understand. Go and tinker with somebody’s installation. 238 00:17:21,970 --> 00:17:26,589 Try not to break it if possible. And just go out and have fun, and meet people. 239 00:17:26,589 --> 00:17:31,080 Whatever you do don’t go sit in a corner and wait for something to happen. 240 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,770 If you really don’t have anything better to do why don’t you use this very network 241 00:17:34,770 --> 00:17:38,020 to retrieve some classified information you have access to? 242 00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:42,890 erdgeist: Using an insecure connection, of course. And incidentally there’s 243 00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:48,240 an ethics hotline on this conference, again. You might call to, well, 244 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,120 get some feeling if it’s alright what you’re doing. 245 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:58,180 And I think it’s fair to say that I’m proud of this community 246 00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:03,580 because we’ve built ourself what we think libraries should look like. 247 00:18:03,580 --> 00:18:08,300 We do have that hot shiny new media.ccc.de where the lectures of this conference 248 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:14,070 are being streamed. And where on average 1 lecture 249 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:19,890 is being posted every 3 days. From conferences like this one. 250 00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:25,510 For everyone to download and learn, and watch. I think it’s fair to say that 251 00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:31,170 with this conference we’ve built what we think universities should look like. 252 00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:35,690 Teaching and learning as equals, and taking the presenter of the show 253 00:18:35,690 --> 00:18:40,750 afterwards to a hands-on workshop. Well, enjoy a Tschunk 254 00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:44,490 at the ‘Bällebad’, together. And no matter what the social, 255 00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:49,810 or religious, or sexual background is, we’re communicating 256 00:18:49,810 --> 00:18:52,680 as equals which is what makes this community cool. 257 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,430 Geraldine: Yes, and the strength of this community… 258 00:18:55,430 --> 00:19:01,730 *applause* 259 00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:05,430 …the strength of this community is also apparent in the way 260 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:09,250 that you support each other. Even if it is just by the little things. Now there’s 261 00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:13,370 a lot of support from the CCH. But this is still very, very pricy. So basically 262 00:19:13,370 --> 00:19:17,900 we can use every penny that you’re willing to give us to organize this event. And 263 00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:22,460 we’d like to point out how fantastic it is that over 25% of all of you 264 00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:27,020 chose to buy Supporter Tickets and not just regular tickets. Now, we know 265 00:19:27,020 --> 00:19:31,280 that 25% is far above the ratio of people attending the Congress who are actually 266 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,070 super rich and wealthy. So that means that you guys went out of your way 267 00:19:35,070 --> 00:19:38,740 to spend a little extra, and support other people who’re not so wealthy 268 00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:42,000 in this community. And we’d like to say “Thank you very much for that”. 269 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:49,570 *applause* 270 00:19:49,570 --> 00:19:55,180 erdgeist: And this conference is a recurring yet unfortunately only 271 00:19:55,180 --> 00:20:00,620 temporary installation. So we ask you to take the spirit of the Congress 272 00:20:00,620 --> 00:20:06,040 back to your local hackerspace. And, well, establish or re-establish 273 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,590 weekly lectures to, well, make yourself mini congresses. Because those 274 00:20:10,590 --> 00:20:15,060 hackerspaces are the Petri dishes for what’s going on here on the conference. 275 00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:20,150 They provide the open space to teach, to learn and to communicate. 276 00:20:20,150 --> 00:20:25,270 Geraldine: Yes, so over the last years, over the last decades even we have all 277 00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:31,890 broadened our cultural contexts. And we believe that now we have a serious chance 278 00:20:31,890 --> 00:20:36,260 to pass on all that we’ve created, and all that we’ve learned for ourselves 279 00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:41,060 to new generations. All that we’ve just spoken about. Exploring how learning 280 00:20:41,060 --> 00:20:45,680 can be fun. Creating blueprints for how to exchange with one another. 281 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,680 We’ve created a lot. But all this greatness also comes at a price. 282 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,130 erdgeist: Well, we’ve all had our history of being bullied, of being bullied for 283 00:20:56,130 --> 00:21:02,520 wanting to learn. For not being mainstream and for having interests that were 284 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,150 not so prominent at that time. But I think we meddled through, and we made it 285 00:21:07,150 --> 00:21:12,050 so far. And I’m really proud of the community, what they’ve achieved 286 00:21:12,050 --> 00:21:15,590 and not what they were in the beginning. 287 00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:18,640 Geraldine: We have to acknowledge that we’re not the underdogs that we 288 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,680 used to be anymore. 15 years ago you were special if you knew how to use a computer. 289 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,820 Nowadays you’re special if you don’t. And those people need our help! 290 00:21:26,820 --> 00:21:31,730 It’s us, we are becoming mainstream. And whilst it is happening we believe it’s 291 00:21:31,730 --> 00:21:36,680 really important that we lead by example. And do not become the bullies ourselves 292 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,950 but embrace new and old generations, to pass on what we’ve learned. 293 00:21:41,950 --> 00:21:43,804 erdgeist: And to be honest… 294 00:21:43,804 --> 00:21:51,000 *applause* 295 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,520 concerning the cryptographic applications out there: 296 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,640 we hackers just had a head start, that’s all. 297 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:07,190 The current sorry state of cryptography we have been left in by… 298 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:14,710 by design that was broken. By negligence or… yeah, by design. 299 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:20,450 We – given the chance – would never build the cryptography the way it is right now. 300 00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:25,940 So I think we can’t blame others not to get it. Seriously, 301 00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:29,310 we hackers should stop being so smug about it. 302 00:22:29,310 --> 00:22:32,460 *applause* And I, for my part apologize 303 00:22:32,460 --> 00:22:35,704 for the annoying CA-Cert situation. 304 00:22:35,704 --> 00:22:40,700 It’s been a cool project over the years, using that cert. But 305 00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:45,160 right now it’s preventing more communication than it’s securing. So I’m… 306 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,020 *applause* I’m looking forward to the summer of 2015 307 00:22:50,020 --> 00:22:53,890 because the Letsencrypt project will make deploying certs and encrypting 308 00:22:53,890 --> 00:23:00,800 much easier. And in the summer of 2015 there will also be a new Camp! Yay! 309 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,360 *applause* 310 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:09,350 Geraldine: As you know the Camp is going to be an amazing playground. 311 00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:12,970 There’s gonna be a lake, there are going to be forests, there’s an old factory 312 00:23:12,970 --> 00:23:17,180 that used to burn the lime stones that Berlin was built up with. So we hope you’re all 313 00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:20,850 gonna come and join us there. Bring a tent! And because this gisn be in the 314 00:23:20,850 --> 00:23:25,110 far out, dark skirts of Brandenburg that even folk songs warn you about: 315 00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:28,040 bring some food, too! *laughter* 316 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:35,270 erdgeist: I recommend everyone to connect. Connect outside with the ‘Seidenstrasse’. 317 00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:40,340 It will be huge on the camp site! In a much larger scale. So take a good look 318 00:23:40,340 --> 00:23:44,110 at how you can connect to the ‘Seidenstrasse’ installment. 319 00:23:44,110 --> 00:23:49,310 I would recommend connecting to one of those assemblies out there. Because 320 00:23:49,310 --> 00:23:52,750 the assemblies were modeled after the Villages on the last camp, and will 321 00:23:52,750 --> 00:23:57,580 of course be the seats for the new Village. So go connect and try to see 322 00:23:57,580 --> 00:24:02,180 if you can go with some of the Villages to the Camp next year. 323 00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:07,260 Geraldine: Yes, and of course it’s – like we said – gonna be one big party as well. 324 00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:09,770 And there’s gonna be a lot of great work being done. But there’s gonna be a lot of 325 00:24:09,770 --> 00:24:13,830 celebration being done, too. Because as is true with any revolution it is true for our 326 00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:19,460 digital one as well: if I can’t dance to it it’s not mine! So we have embraced 327 00:24:19,460 --> 00:24:22,790 the electronic music scene a long time ago. And of course it’s an integral part 328 00:24:22,790 --> 00:24:25,190 of the Camp and Congress today. 329 00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:26,610 *applause* 330 00:24:26,610 --> 00:24:34,270 “Spass am Gerät!” So I think now… now about ready to open the show properly 331 00:24:34,270 --> 00:24:39,420 with our first Keynote speaker. I hope you’re all familiar with him. If it’s like 332 00:24:39,420 --> 00:24:44,090 for instance from the 30C3 triumphal hymn. *single cheer from audience* 333 00:24:44,090 --> 00:24:49,780 erdgeist: It’s our most prominent Audio Angel, I think. Incidentally, Geraldine 334 00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:54,900 and I met him for the first time on May 1st of 1999. Around the same time 335 00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:59,980 we were starting to hang around close to CCC. And there he was playing on that 336 00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:02,760 infamous scheduled riots in Berlin. 337 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,610 Geraldine: So, yeah. So now we’d like to ask you all to give a really, really big 338 00:25:07,610 --> 00:25:09,715 warm welcome to… 339 00:25:09,715 --> 00:25:11,909 Geraldine and erdgeist: ALEC EMPIRE! 340 00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:16,041 *applause and some cheers* 341 00:25:20,731 --> 00:25:30,000 *subtitles created by c3subtitles.de in the year 2017.
