WEBVTT
00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:35.220
31C3 opening title video with music
00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:36.640
Someone: Geht doch!
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.970
applause
00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:50.020
sound of steps on the floor, breathing
00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:53.800
erdgeist: Good morning and
welcome everyone to the largest
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:57.660
hacker conference
in the free world.
00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:04.300
cheers and applause
00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:07.840
Geraldine de Bastion: Good morning
Hamburg, hello world! Wow, oh my goodness,
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.600
look at all of you here! My name is
Geraldine, I first started attending
00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:17.369
this Congress all the way back
in 1999. And I remember so well
00:01:17.369 --> 00:01:22.259
walking into the dark, smoky central
hackspace, and getting into all these
00:01:22.259 --> 00:01:26.439
random and really, really exciting
conversations. And I also remember
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:31.049
feeling so much more welcome than
I ever thought would be possible.
00:01:31.049 --> 00:01:34.090
But I never thought I would be standing
here today opening the show and this is
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:36.900
such a huge honor.
Thank you very much!
00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:41.959
cheers and applause
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.070
erdgeist: My name is erdgeist and
I first attended Congress in 1998
00:01:46.070 --> 00:01:49.900
which is one year prior to Geraldine…
…what a noob!
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:54.700
laughs
but I now officially attended
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:59.619
more Congresses than I didn’t.
Which means that now I’m old.
00:01:59.619 --> 00:02:04.790
And knowing all the love and enthusiasm
that went into preparing this conference
00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:08.530
I’m so incredibly proud to see how
everything worked out, how you
00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:13.760
got together, how this conference just
blows everyone away. How you
00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:18.790
showed up and made this work.
Without anyone telling you what to do.
00:02:18.790 --> 00:02:19.790
Just amazing.
00:02:19.790 --> 00:02:22.330
Geraldine: So I know what you’re all
thinking. We’re gonna spend the next
00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:25.830
half an hour selling you a show that
you’ve already bought tickets for. And
00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:29.810
this is kind of true. However we feel that
we have hopefully something interesting
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
00:02:34.060 --> 00:02:37.759
can’t be physically with us today, for
various reasons. Watching from their
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:42.340
telescreens at home. So whether you
are watching by yourself, in front of
00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:45.810
your device, or you’re hosting
a Congress-Everywhere event,
00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:48.951
and watching together with like-minded
people, and whether you’re
00:02:48.951 --> 00:02:53.548
in Dar-es-Salaam, Tel Aviv or
Chemnitz – welcome to the show!
00:02:53.548 --> 00:02:59.780
cheers and applause
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:05.939
Now, last year when Tim did this
opening the gravity of the situation
00:03:05.939 --> 00:03:10.780
that we’re all facing, in the post-Snowden
era was of course apparent to everybody
00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:15.000
here in the room. But what is really
important is that we manage to transport
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.670
our message out of these walls.
To the general public. And people finally
00:03:19.670 --> 00:03:23.260
started listening to what
people in this room had to say.
00:03:23.260 --> 00:03:28.410
erdgeist: We know the services in
the world are still out of control.
00:03:28.410 --> 00:03:32.269
And sometimes it’s a little frustrating
that things are not moving faster.
00:03:32.269 --> 00:03:36.049
But we need to keep pushing towards
a common goal. We need to keep
00:03:36.049 --> 00:03:42.830
our doors open to those that we
want to reach with our message.
00:03:42.830 --> 00:03:46.650
Last year we were partying even though
we figured out that people, smart people
00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:49.579
from our ranks, were
working for the bad guys.
00:03:49.579 --> 00:03:53.910
Geraldine: Last year we were partying even
though the complexity what was happening
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:57.319
was so deafening, and we couldn’t
even find a Congress motto
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.810
to express what we were feeling.
00:03:59.810 --> 00:04:03.780
erdgeist: But when we learned that the
Google engineers started to raising
00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:08.579
their middle fingers towards the NSA, and
started encrypting their server network
00:04:08.579 --> 00:04:12.709
communications we understood that
this is not the end, but a new dawn.
00:04:12.709 --> 00:04:16.079
Geraldine: And when we learned that
Whatsapp of all clients started
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.000
introducing end-to-end encryption, making
it even more secure to use than De-Mail
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.000
we learned that developers…
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.680
laughter and applause
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.740
…developers around the world weren’t
standing back in shock. But rolled up
00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:35.580
their sleeves, and got
to work. A New Dawn.
00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:39.690
erdgeist: And when we learned that you
guys finally got over your differences
00:04:39.690 --> 00:04:44.730
and started the Letsencrypt
project we understood
00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:47.920
that the community is not just standing
by. And seeing our community
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.280
and the internet being split
on by NSA and NHC… hehe,
00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:56.920
and the British secret service.
laughs
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:57.960
laughter
00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:01.780
But you were working on it, and came
together, and started fixing what
00:05:01.780 --> 00:05:06.040
we’ve been left with by the Snake
Oil cert vendors of the world,
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.
00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:16.250
And I’m very confident to say
that this community, obviously,
00:05:16.250 --> 00:05:20.410
rolled their sleeves up, and made
for once and for all clear that it’s
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:25.340
not the shady spy agencies with their
ridiculous budgets ruling the internet
00:05:25.340 --> 00:05:29.660
but we are. And it’s a New Dawn!
00:05:29.660 --> 00:05:35.160
cheers and applause
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.720
Geraldine: So now we would like to
know who’s first Congress is this?
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.380
If you’re here for the first time can
you give me a sign of hands?
00:05:43.380 --> 00:05:45.970
Ah, so many people! Huh!
erdgeist: Amazing!
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:49.240
Geraldine: That’s why you’re
all here so early! Now I…
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.130
erdgeist: Everyone take a good
look at them! Because…
00:05:52.130 --> 00:05:56.160
cheers and applause
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.780
…it’s because of them that we need to
explain everything from square one.
00:05:59.780 --> 00:06:01.460
laughter
laughs on his own bad joke
00:06:01.460 --> 00:06:04.570
Geraldine: But we would like to say
thank you for that! For 2 reasons:
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
00:06:08.710 --> 00:06:12.380
everything from square one. And
(b) it’s because of you guys that
00:06:12.380 --> 00:06:15.080
our community keeps growing every year.
00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:19.500
erdgeist: And the community keeps growing
because there’s all those tiny gems
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:22.880
like the “Chaospatinnen” project.
Which is our interpretation of
00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:25.370
how a mentors program
is supposed to work.
00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:29.280
Geraldine: So this is how it works. This
year there are about 30 ‘Chaospatinnen’
00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:34.460
taking care of 100 new attendees called
“Patenkinder”. They could apply for this,
00:06:34.460 --> 00:06:38.150
and it wasn’t just a random selection, but
the ‘Chaospatinnen’ actually sat down
00:06:38.150 --> 00:06:41.720
and made sure they matched their interests
with the ones of the people that they
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.370
would be mentoring. And they’re
basically gonna help show them around
00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:49.060
for the next 4 days, show them all the
hidden secrets of the Congress,
00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:52.240
help them put together an advanced
bucket list and make sure they get
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.990
the most out of this
first Congress experience.
00:06:54.990 --> 00:06:59.820
erdgeist: And one of those
‘Chaos-Kinder’ is Elia. And he wrote
00:06:59.820 --> 00:07:04.370
to the chaospatinnen mailing list.
Said that over the last years he’s been
00:07:04.370 --> 00:07:08.630
fascinated in technology. And hacking.
But he could never afford coming
00:07:08.630 --> 00:07:13.240
to the Congress. And now, for
his 18th birthday his parents gave him
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.920
a ticket to this show, and a ticket
to Hamburg. So welcome, Elia!
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:23.810
applause and cheers
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:27.380
Geraldine: We’d also like to welcome Alex.
Alex is a really good example why this
00:07:27.380 --> 00:07:31.080
program is so important. She’s studying
math, and she’s studying cognitive
00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:36.950
sciences and is currently working on her
PhD. And she was yet never really sure
00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:40.680
whether she was supposed to come to
Congress, whether this is the right place
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:
00:07:44.210 --> 00:07:46.496
“Welcome, Alex! You’re perfect here!”
00:07:46.496 --> 00:07:50.010
applause
00:07:50.010 --> 00:07:53.830
And we would like to welcome one
other ‘Chaos-Patenkind’ who’d like to
00:07:53.830 --> 00:07:57.580
stay anonymous. But she confessed
to us that she used to have to spend
00:07:57.580 --> 00:08:02.150
the holidays eating so much unhealthy
food, and celebrating with her family,
00:08:02.150 --> 00:08:05.740
and fixing computers. We just wanna
say: we know what that’s like.
00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:07.960
We feel with you! Welcome!
00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:11.510
laughter, applause and cheers
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
00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:19.460
a field day, a field trip, and even
going backstage and getting to visit TIM.
00:08:19.460 --> 00:08:23.250
erdgeist: Hehe, yes, they’ve an audience
with the TIM. And they’re going to see
00:08:23.250 --> 00:08:27.370
NOC, and they’re going backstage to
the party. I’m so incredibly jealous,
00:08:27.370 --> 00:08:32.070
so I think next year I will apply for
the ‘Chaospatinnen’ project, too.
00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:38.070
Just… just for the trip.
And what ‘Chaospatinnen’ is
00:08:38.070 --> 00:08:43.559
for our new participants
the ‘Press Angels’ corps is,
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.470
well, for the press. So if you
come to the entrance and say
00:08:48.470 --> 00:08:52.279
you’re a member of the press you
get your complementary Press Angel.
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.300
Who will show you around, help you
get a feel for the conference,
00:08:58.300 --> 00:09:03.279
show you all the nice spots
and make you familiar with the
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.690
photo policy of this conference. And…
laughter and applause
00:09:07.690 --> 00:09:14.180
…this service is of course
not mandatory because, well,
00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:16.170
we are not in North Korea here…
laughs
00:09:16.170 --> 00:09:18.899
Geraldine: Don’t make jokes about North
Korea! You never know what’s gonna happen
00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:22.569
these days if you do that!
laughter
00:09:22.569 --> 00:09:28.647
loud distorted sound changing
to lower frequencies
00:09:28.647 --> 00:09:32.470
erdgeist: Oops!
Geraldine: I thought that might happen!
00:09:32.470 --> 00:09:35.480
erdgeist: laughs
Damn!
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:44.980
So we know that there’s 2 students
from the University of Kiel here
00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:46.730
laughter
00:09:46.730 --> 00:09:52.839
who have been getting their… I think
I go over there, that’s just closer
00:09:52.839 --> 00:09:58.879
to my computer. So we have 2 students
from the University of Kiel here
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.639
whose Prof sponsored them a ticket
for this show. And I think this is
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.019
a nice development. I think that all
universities in Germany should make sure
00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:10.399
that their students get the best
education possible. So…
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:19.040
Geraldine laughs
applause
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:23.370
And you may believe it or not.
Like 16 years ago I started out
00:10:23.370 --> 00:10:28.639
like over 1000 of you last year
and this year as a Chaos Angel.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.550
I’ve been sitting in my first Congress
through the mandatory
00:10:32.550 --> 00:10:38.790
‘TCP/IP for beginners’ lecture. And
I would never have imagined that,
00:10:38.790 --> 00:10:43.680
like 16 years later I would be standing
in front of 3000 people and cracking jokes
00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:48.170
about my ‘TCP/IP for beginners’ lecture
and most of you would actually get it.
00:10:48.170 --> 00:10:54.060
Which is rather amazing! And, well,
I feel jealous for the ‘Chaospatinnen’…
00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:59.839
no, for the mentees! Even though I did not
have the head start Chaospatinnen project
00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:04.399
provides today I still felt very welcome,
with the Chaos Angels and, well,
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.959
came back year after year. And… now.
00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:13.400
About those Chaos Angels: they’re
the integral part of what makes
00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:20.339
this conference work. And you over there,
at the camera, what’s your name?
00:11:20.339 --> 00:11:24.730
Mario. Mario is a camera angel. And he’s
00:11:24.730 --> 00:11:28.540
helping at the conference. But I’m
standing here getting all the good vibes,
00:11:28.540 --> 00:11:33.100
getting all the fame. And this is why
I’m standing here! But this guy…
00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:35.800
laughter
has been paying full price.
00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:40.430
And he’s still doing his shifts to make
this conference work. And I want everyone
00:11:40.430 --> 00:11:43.589
to give him a warm round of aplause!
00:11:43.589 --> 00:11:53.709
applause
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
00:11:58.511 --> 00:12:03.290
thank you, and, well, actually do mean
it! And if you’re being blocked from
00:12:03.290 --> 00:12:07.059
entering the lecture hall you want to
attend just remember that the angel
00:12:07.059 --> 00:12:11.529
is volunteering, too.
And, don’t be grumpy.
00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:17.439
Don’t be angry. Just say thank you,
maybe turn around and watch the stream
00:12:17.439 --> 00:12:22.959
on the back of the hall.
I would even go so far to say:
00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:25.819
make today Hug-an-Angel Day!
laughter
00:12:25.819 --> 00:12:28.649
Geraldine: Consensually, of course!
laughter
00:12:28.649 --> 00:12:33.459
So it’s all the ‘Chaospatinnen’, all the
Chaos Angels that we’d like to say
00:12:33.459 --> 00:12:37.370
thankyou to. But we’d also like to give
a shoutout to all the hundreds
00:12:37.370 --> 00:12:41.459
of volunteers that have made this event
possible. It’s all the people that
00:12:41.459 --> 00:12:45.040
have set up the… yeah, the OC’s
bringing the internet, the DECT
00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:48.680
and GSM phone networks. It’s all the
people who have put the schedule together
00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:53.930
for you, behind the cash desks, at the
entry points, and also all the people
00:12:53.930 --> 00:12:56.779
that are doing translation service.
We’re actually gonna translate
00:12:56.779 --> 00:13:00.759
all the German talks into English for you.
And a whole bunch of the English talks
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:05.540
into German, too. And you can even make
requests which talk should be translated
00:13:05.540 --> 00:13:09.139
via Twitter. So it’s really all these
people that are making this possible.
00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:11.310
And let’s give them
a big round of applause.
00:13:11.310 --> 00:13:18.060
applause
00:13:18.060 --> 00:13:23.290
So. I am assuming that with
around 200 people
00:13:23.290 --> 00:13:28.269
giving over 150 lectures over the next
4 days a couple of people presenting
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
00:13:31.550 --> 00:13:34.059
speaking on this or another
stage in the next days?
00:13:34.059 --> 00:13:36.759
erdgeist: Yeah, there are some!
Geraldine: Okay everybody, take
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.389
a good look at these hands going up.
In order for these people to be able
00:13:40.389 --> 00:13:44.930
to give their talks at least 2 other
submissions were turned down. And so
00:13:44.930 --> 00:13:47.740
you better do a really, really god job.
Otherwise you gonna have the wrath
00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:52.180
of about 30.000 people turned upon you.
No pressure, no pressure! No – really!
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
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
00:13:59.800 --> 00:14:03.449
suggestions, whose ideas
weren’t selected this year.
00:14:03.449 --> 00:14:08.259
erdgeist: Seriously, the number
of rejected talks this year
00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:15.129
was heart-breaking. You know
that we organized the content
00:14:15.129 --> 00:14:19.809
in tracks. Five different tracks, each
being curated by a different track team.
00:14:19.809 --> 00:14:24.899
And in some of the track teams the ratio
between accepted and rejected talks
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
00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:36.949
it was bad. But the competition was so
brutal. So, thank you for your submission
00:14:36.949 --> 00:14:43.660
and – I know it’s hard to ask to maybe
just go and make your lecture
00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:48.720
a lightning talk. There’s still some
slots free. Or present the topic
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:53.940
you wanted to present in
a workshop. And this year
00:14:53.940 --> 00:14:57.230
in fixing up the Fahrplan we
had some help from you guys.
00:14:57.230 --> 00:15:03.029
We’ve had that amazing tool
where everyone of you
00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:08.699
could just submit their preferences and
say what lectures they want to see.
00:15:08.699 --> 00:15:14.410
And we used that data wisely to
make sure that for most of you
00:15:14.410 --> 00:15:18.569
you could see your favourite talk
while not missing another talk
00:15:18.569 --> 00:15:21.019
you wanted to see.
Well, except for that one guy.
00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:23.749
Geraldine: What?
erdgeist: Yeah, we’re using heavy data mining
00:15:23.749 --> 00:15:27.860
and number crunching to make sure
that, for that poor fellow’s guy
00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:31.889
all the lectures he wanted to see there
was at least 2 conflicting lectures.
00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:36.410
So, you know who you are.
laughter
00:15:36.410 --> 00:15:37.499
Just kidding!
00:15:37.499 --> 00:15:43.380
We’re still using the data from the tool,
so if you keep submitting the preferences
00:15:43.380 --> 00:15:47.170
for your lectures we will know which
lectures we need to stream outside,
00:15:47.170 --> 00:15:50.709
and the translation team is also using
that numbers, to see what the interest
00:15:50.709 --> 00:15:52.429
in those lectures are.
00:15:52.429 --> 00:15:55.680
Geraldine: Okay, well. Hopefully that was
gonna make all the rest of you enjoy
00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:59.820
the show. Sorry for that one person!
But in case this isn’t just hard enough
00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:04.029
with all this content going round: you’ve
also thrown in over 100 workshops
00:16:04.029 --> 00:16:07.380
into the mix, all completely
self-organized. There gonna be
00:16:07.380 --> 00:16:11.500
dozens of lightning talks, over 230
assemblies on anything from
00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:15.899
smartcard hacking, 3D printing…
There’s even gonna be a cocktail bot.
00:16:15.899 --> 00:16:21.269
erdgeist: Yes, and to my delightment
there’s a coffee nerd area in the 4th floor
00:16:21.269 --> 00:16:24.850
I will definitely be hanging around in.
laughs Yes!
00:16:24.850 --> 00:16:28.260
Geraldine: Applause for coffee nerds!
small applause
00:16:28.260 --> 00:16:32.179
erdgeist: And I recommend to enjoy
the crazy joyride that has been set up
00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:37.480
for you outside in the hall. There’s
so much exhibitions. There’s the
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.819
second installment of the ‘Seidenstrasse’
which is an amazing construction.
00:16:41.819 --> 00:16:46.939
It’s last rehearsal before
the Camp. And I recommend
00:16:46.939 --> 00:16:51.499
taking a dip into the ‘Bällebad’!
Don’t forget to bring your towel.
00:16:51.499 --> 00:16:57.050
Nah! Tss! And…
laughter and applause
00:16:57.050 --> 00:17:01.649
This all has been set up to fulfill
the promise that has been
00:17:01.649 --> 00:17:05.819
at the core and in the name of the
conference from the very beginning.
00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:08.029
It’s… communication!
00:17:08.029 --> 00:17:13.140
Geraldine: So we dare you: go out, go out
here and talk to some random stranger
00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:17.290
about her project. Go and attend
a lecture whose title and abstract
00:17:17.290 --> 00:17:21.970
you do not understand. Go and
tinker with somebody’s installation.
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.
00:17:26.589 --> 00:17:31.080
Whatever you do don’t go sit in a corner
and wait for something to happen.
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
00:17:34.770 --> 00:17:38.020
to retrieve some classified
information you have access to?
00:17:38.020 --> 00:17:42.890
erdgeist: Using an insecure connection,
of course. And incidentally there’s
00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:48.240
an ethics hotline on this conference,
again. You might call to, well,
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.120
get some feeling if it’s
alright what you’re doing.
00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:58.180
And I think it’s fair to say that
I’m proud of this community
00:17:58.180 --> 00:18:03.580
because we’ve built ourself what
we think libraries should look like.
00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:08.300
We do have that hot shiny new media.ccc.de
where the lectures of this conference
00:18:08.300 --> 00:18:14.070
are being streamed. And
where on average 1 lecture
00:18:14.070 --> 00:18:19.890
is being posted every 3 days.
From conferences like this one.
00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:25.510
For everyone to download and learn,
and watch. I think it’s fair to say that
00:18:25.510 --> 00:18:31.170
with this conference we’ve built what
we think universities should look like.
00:18:31.170 --> 00:18:35.690
Teaching and learning as equals, and
taking the presenter of the show
00:18:35.690 --> 00:18:40.750
afterwards to a hands-on
workshop. Well, enjoy a Tschunk
00:18:40.750 --> 00:18:44.490
at the ‘Bällebad’, together.
And no matter what the social,
00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:49.810
or religious, or sexual background
is, we’re communicating
00:18:49.810 --> 00:18:52.680
as equals which is what
makes this community cool.
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.430
Geraldine: Yes, and the
strength of this community…
00:18:55.430 --> 00:19:01.730
applause
00:19:01.730 --> 00:19:05.430
…the strength of this community
is also apparent in the way
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
00:19:09.250 --> 00:19:13.370
a lot of support from the CCH. But this
is still very, very pricy. So basically
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
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
00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:27.020
chose to buy Supporter Tickets and
not just regular tickets. Now, we know
00:19:27.020 --> 00:19:31.280
that 25% is far above the ratio of people
attending the Congress who are actually
00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:35.070
super rich and wealthy. So that means
that you guys went out of your way
00:19:35.070 --> 00:19:38.740
to spend a little extra, and support
other people who’re not so wealthy
00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:42.000
in this community. And we’d like to say
“Thank you very much for that”.
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:49.570
applause
00:19:49.570 --> 00:19:55.180
erdgeist: And this conference is
a recurring yet unfortunately only
00:19:55.180 --> 00:20:00.620
temporary installation. So we ask you
to take the spirit of the Congress
00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:06.040
back to your local hackerspace.
And, well, establish or re-establish
00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:10.590
weekly lectures to, well, make yourself
mini congresses. Because those
00:20:10.590 --> 00:20:15.060
hackerspaces are the Petri dishes for
what’s going on here on the conference.
00:20:15.060 --> 00:20:20.150
They provide the open space to teach,
to learn and to communicate.
00:20:20.150 --> 00:20:25.270
Geraldine: Yes, so over the last years,
over the last decades even we have all
00:20:25.270 --> 00:20:31.890
broadened our cultural contexts. And we
believe that now we have a serious chance
00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:36.260
to pass on all that we’ve created, and
all that we’ve learned for ourselves
00:20:36.260 --> 00:20:41.060
to new generations. All that we’ve just
spoken about. Exploring how learning
00:20:41.060 --> 00:20:45.680
can be fun. Creating blueprints for
how to exchange with one another.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:50.680
We’ve created a lot. But all this
greatness also comes at a price.
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:56.130
erdgeist: Well, we’ve all had our history
of being bullied, of being bullied for
00:20:56.130 --> 00:21:02.520
wanting to learn. For not being mainstream
and for having interests that were
00:21:02.520 --> 00:21:07.150
not so prominent at that time. But I think
we meddled through, and we made it
00:21:07.150 --> 00:21:12.050
so far. And I’m really proud of the
community, what they’ve achieved
00:21:12.050 --> 00:21:15.590
and not what they were in the beginning.
00:21:15.590 --> 00:21:18.640
Geraldine: We have to acknowledge
that we’re not the underdogs that we
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.
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.820
Nowadays you’re special if you don’t.
And those people need our help!
00:21:26.820 --> 00:21:31.730
It’s us, we are becoming mainstream.
And whilst it is happening we believe it’s
00:21:31.730 --> 00:21:36.680
really important that we lead by example.
And do not become the bullies ourselves
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:41.950
but embrace new and old generations,
to pass on what we’ve learned.
00:21:41.950 --> 00:21:43.804
erdgeist: And to be honest…
00:21:43.804 --> 00:21:51.000
applause
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.520
concerning the cryptographic
applications out there:
00:21:56.520 --> 00:21:59.640
we hackers just had
a head start, that’s all.
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:07.190
The current sorry state of cryptography
we have been left in by…
00:22:07.190 --> 00:22:14.710
by design that was broken.
By negligence or… yeah, by design.
00:22:14.710 --> 00:22:20.450
We – given the chance – would never build
the cryptography the way it is right now.
00:22:20.450 --> 00:22:25.940
So I think we can’t blame
others not to get it. Seriously,
00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:29.310
we hackers should stop
being so smug about it.
00:22:29.310 --> 00:22:32.460
applause
And I, for my part apologize
00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:35.704
for the annoying CA-Cert situation.
00:22:35.704 --> 00:22:40.700
It’s been a cool project over
the years, using that cert. But
00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:45.160
right now it’s preventing more
communication than it’s securing. So I’m…
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:50.020
applause
I’m looking forward to the summer of 2015
00:22:50.020 --> 00:22:53.890
because the Letsencrypt project will
make deploying certs and encrypting
00:22:53.890 --> 00:23:00.800
much easier. And in the summer of 2015
there will also be a new Camp! Yay!
00:23:00.800 --> 00:23:05.360
applause
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:09.350
Geraldine: As you know the Camp is
going to be an amazing playground.
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
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
00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:20.850
gonna come and join us there. Bring
a tent! And because this gisn be in the
00:23:20.850 --> 00:23:25.110
far out, dark skirts of Brandenburg that
even folk songs warn you about:
00:23:25.110 --> 00:23:28.040
bring some food, too!
laughter
00:23:28.040 --> 00:23:35.270
erdgeist: I recommend everyone to connect.
Connect outside with the ‘Seidenstrasse’.
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
00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:44.110
at how you can connect to the
‘Seidenstrasse’ installment.
00:23:44.110 --> 00:23:49.310
I would recommend connecting to one of
those assemblies out there. Because
00:23:49.310 --> 00:23:52.750
the assemblies were modeled after the
Villages on the last camp, and will
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:57.580
of course be the seats for the new
Village. So go connect and try to see
00:23:57.580 --> 00:24:02.180
if you can go with some of the
Villages to the Camp next year.
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.
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
00:24:09.770 --> 00:24:13.830
celebration being done, too. Because as is
true with any revolution it is true for our
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
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:22.790
the electronic music scene a long time
ago. And of course it’s an integral part
00:24:22.790 --> 00:24:25.190
of the Camp and Congress today.
00:24:25.190 --> 00:24:26.610
applause
00:24:26.610 --> 00:24:34.270
“Spass am Gerät!” So I think now…
now about ready to open the show properly
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
00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:44.090
for instance from the 30C3 triumphal hymn.
single cheer from audience
00:24:44.090 --> 00:24:49.780
erdgeist: It’s our most prominent Audio
Angel, I think. Incidentally, Geraldine
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
00:24:54.900 --> 00:24:59.980
we were starting to hang around close to
CCC. And there he was playing on that
00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:02.760
infamous scheduled riots in Berlin.
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
00:25:07.610 --> 00:25:09.715
warm welcome to…
00:25:09.715 --> 00:25:11.909
Geraldine and erdgeist: ALEC EMPIRE!
00:25:11.909 --> 00:25:16.041
applause and some cheers
