CCCamp 2007 - 1 - In fairy dust we trust

The Chaos Communication Camp 2007 is officially open now for the next 5 days. It is located in an open airplain museum right next to a running airport. Talks (program) are hold in two shelters (foo and bar). Them, the airplains, flying drones and the usual light installations give the area a cool, post-apocalyptic ambiente especially when it is dark (I arrived earlier so saw the stuff at night).


More and more people are coming and camping space is getting rare. So most importantly: Don't panic.


There are so many interesting projects going on. Until now I was mostly hanging out at the BSD-village but I will start exploring other villages and meet some people.

Chaos Communication Camp 2007

EN: For those who haven't heard about it so far: There will be a Chaos Communication Camp this year which will takes place from the 8th - 12th August in Finowfurt (close to Berlin). If you are interested in Open Source, IT, hacking, art, knowledge distribution, science and the whole world this might be the right place for you to find more people of your kind. A lot of well known projects will be there and usually the program offers a lot of interesting talks. To get an impression how the camps look like you can watch a documentary video (around 20 mins) of the camp in 2003.



Update: The CCC event blog announced the call for participation which includes a list of the topics on the camp.
