1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,909 preroll music 2 00:00:14,909 --> 00:01:50,900 33c3 opening theme music 3 00:01:50,900 --> 00:02:32,290 applause 4 00:02:32,290 --> 00:02:36,970 Anna: Hi, everyone and welcome to the 33rd Chaos Communication Congress. 5 00:02:36,970 --> 00:02:41,420 It's great that you all made it here and joined us for this huge event. 6 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:44,990 Elisa: And of course we also want to say hi to everybody who is watching the stream 7 00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:50,400 today whether you are at home with friends at your local Erfa or at the hackspace of 8 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,590 your choice. I've got a question to the people who are here in the room today. 9 00:02:56,590 --> 00:03:02,000 applause 10 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,750 Like him, obviously. So, everybody in the room, also people in this wonderful police 11 00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:13,910 box, who is at their first Chaos Communication Congress ever? Please wave. 12 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:24,450 Wow! That's a lot. Wow! Big applause! So they are the Chaos mentees Wow, welcome 13 00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:28,349 to all of you it's great that you found your way here. 14 00:03:28,349 --> 00:03:33,440 Anna: When I came to Congress first I had mixed feelings before like my first 15 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,780 feeling was nervousness. Like, it was like, wooo! What should I do here? And 16 00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:41,710 there were many questions like the first question was like could I connect to 17 00:03:41,710 --> 00:03:45,680 people or would I stand, like, in the corner hiding because I'm intimidated by 18 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,440 all the cool stuff people are doing. Will people look down on me because I'm not 19 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:57,069 like the leet hax0r or because I'm not fluent in Perl? But, like, yeah the 20 00:03:57,069 --> 00:04:00,830 following years it was okay, but like, today, the nervousness came back because 21 00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:05,360 like, something to do with the stage. But, yeah, we'll get better. 22 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,010 E: Before I came to my first Congress I had a similar feeling. But as soon as I 23 00:04:10,010 --> 00:04:15,360 arrived, all my worries and fears were gone. I was so fascinated by all the 24 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,320 blinking lights by the awesome projects and by the openness with which people 25 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,350 talked to each other and worked together. I was really overwhelmed by how Congress 26 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:33,300 is an event that is shaped by all its participants that is made by all of us for 27 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,490 all of us. 28 00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:44,180 A: First to mention... applause 29 00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:48,440 First to mention the Angels like, all those volunteers who make Congress work 30 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,490 for us who work for us and who can't be thanked enough. Like, they do a lot of, 31 00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:55,040 lot of tasks. 32 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:05,710 applause 33 00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:09,970 They do a lot of tasks, and some of them you see some of them you don't. For 34 00:05:09,970 --> 00:05:14,210 example, they collect bottles and you really help them by dropping your bottles 35 00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:18,730 at the bottle drop points when you exit those halls through the exit. 36 00:05:18,730 --> 00:05:22,720 E: In this hall, there are 16 emergency exits that are marked with a green exit 37 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:29,480 sign. There are 10 main doors, 4 left, 4 right, and 2 central. 6 doors at the 38 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,160 rear of the hall, 3 left and 3 right. Please note that the exit nearest to you 39 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,920 could maybe behind you. 40 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,520 applause 41 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,630 A: Angels do a lot of other tasks too, for example, they watch the doors so the halls 42 00:05:47,630 --> 00:05:49,210 don't get overcrowded. 43 00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:50,710 E: They announce speakers. 44 00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:52,710 A: They do translations and subtitles. 45 00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:57,230 This year, also in French, sometimes. 46 00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:59,480 E: They help you if you should get lost. 47 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,440 A: And they care for a constant supply of ice cubes and limes behind the scenes at the 48 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,950 bar so there's always enough tschunk to go around. 49 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:11,020 applause 50 00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:15,400 To list all their tasks would take us a lot of time. So let's thank all the Angels 51 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,950 even those we couldn't mention here with a thundering round of applause again. 52 00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:34,010 applause 53 00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:39,199 E: And, becoming an Angel is really easy all you have to do is register in the 54 00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:44,620 angel system which is on the Internets. Go to Heaven, which is in this building, 55 00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:49,100 and find a job that suits you. Even as a first-time attendee of Congress you can be 56 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,680 a part of it, with the positive side effect that you will get to know new 57 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,040 people. And if you are shy, maybe you should take the night shift and watch the 58 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,940 entrance because then you will have to talk to your co-Angels in order to avoid 59 00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:06,240 falling asleep. 60 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,410 A: When I first went to Congress I was also fascinated by all the people who 61 00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:14,920 seemed to be living in this Congress building for days to build up this huge 62 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,860 event. And to bring us all the infrastructure; for example, they brought 63 00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:21,850 us the Internet. 64 00:07:21,850 --> 00:07:24,160 laughter 65 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,090 applause 66 00:07:29,090 --> 00:07:33,740 But they also bring us couches they bring us a DECT phone infrastructure and they 67 00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:37,240 bring us a giant snow globe to dance in. 68 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,930 E: All this is only possible because people have incorporated one guiding 69 00:07:41,930 --> 00:07:46,720 principle which of course all of you know "Be excellent to each other." 70 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,240 For sure.. applause 71 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,269 Yeah. 72 00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:55,240 applause 73 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,040 For sure, Congress is not the island of the blessed. Conflicts exist here as they 74 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:07,590 do everywhere. But you and we and so many people in the past years and even decades 75 00:08:07,590 --> 00:08:13,430 have been trying hard to make it work to make it better, step by step, and I think 76 00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:19,330 we've come a long way in doing so. After only a few days at my first Congress, 77 00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:26,580 I was sure, Congress works for me. This would not have been my last Congress. 78 00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:32,999 A: But certainly, as every year, Congress was over, I left the building that was not 79 00:08:32,999 --> 00:08:39,238 blinking anymore. I went to the train station and I got kind of sad. People 80 00:08:39,238 --> 00:08:43,219 weren't excellent to each other anymore. People were just rushing into their 81 00:08:43,219 --> 00:08:48,791 overcrowded trains. There was no mutual consideration. And I fell into kind of a 82 00:08:48,791 --> 00:08:54,339 post-Congress depression, I think some people know that. And I asked myself, 83 00:08:54,339 --> 00:08:56,050 where are all the people that are inspired 84 00:08:56,050 --> 00:09:01,449 and enthusiastic, and where's like the respect towards each other not 85 00:09:01,449 --> 00:09:05,979 considering, like anything, like features or appearance. 86 00:09:05,979 --> 00:09:11,569 E: Any day that is not a day of Camp or Congress or another Chaos event leaves 87 00:09:11,569 --> 00:09:16,990 something to be desired. I guess most of us will agree on that. But the last 12 88 00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:22,480 months provided us with even more reasons to be subdued, and to yearn for another 89 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:28,080 world. For a few days, we will now have that. We can live another life in another 90 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,210 world. We can do what we love and share all this with like-minded people, which is 91 00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:39,479 great. But when you take this year's motto, "Works For Me," there could not be 92 00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:45,949 a stronger contrast to my feelings towards the world out there. There, nothing seems 93 00:09:45,949 --> 00:09:50,590 to work. And I've got a lot of bug reports to file. 94 00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:54,490 A: Not all of those bug reports are technical, and not all of them might be 95 00:09:54,490 --> 00:10:00,309 ours to fix. But they all make the world out there not work for me. Do you think 96 00:10:00,309 --> 00:10:04,490 it's not that bad? Then let's look at a few examples. Our freedoms are cut back 97 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:09,550 more and more. In the nineties, people fought the crypto wars to make strong 98 00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:15,910 encryption accessible for everyone. Today, state actors call for laws that 99 00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:20,869 - to build backdoors into products leaving every single person less secure. 100 00:10:20,869 --> 00:10:25,730 E: Secret services all around the world infiltrate standards and software to get 101 00:10:25,730 --> 00:10:30,970 access to the communication of simply everyone. Didn't we learn anything since 102 00:10:30,970 --> 00:10:36,089 the groundbreaking revelations of Snowden? And now we rely on a few big corporations 103 00:10:36,089 --> 00:10:39,950 to withstand these developments, which of course they only do to keep their unique 104 00:10:39,950 --> 00:10:42,860 selling point? This doesn't work for me. 105 00:10:42,860 --> 00:10:46,449 A: But it's not just about the digital world which might be a focus for many of 106 00:10:46,449 --> 00:10:51,540 you. Violation of human's rights are the order of the day. People all around the 107 00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:55,360 world face repression if they stand up against totalitarian systems and 108 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,670 injustice. Free speech is censored and persecuted. People are facing years in 109 00:11:00,670 --> 00:11:07,509 prison face being tortured or worse if they speak up and stand up against the system. 110 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:12,009 E: All across the world, right-wing populists now dare to act in the open and 111 00:11:12,009 --> 00:11:16,060 in some - in some places they even [?] seize power. 112 00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:20,160 applause 113 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,449 From the idea of a connected world we now face a shift towards parochialism, towards 114 00:11:26,449 --> 00:11:32,800 isolationism, and from there also to national supremacy. In this climate, 115 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,950 aggression and hate towards perceived minorities flourish. Houses burn, people 116 00:11:38,950 --> 00:11:42,780 get chased through the streets, and people die. 117 00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:48,730 A: These are only like a few prominent examples. Many people on this place face 118 00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:55,279 existential threat every day. We don't see them or we don't feel them, yet. Droughts 119 00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:02,100 caused by overexploitations causes wars and causes death. Just because a problem 120 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:06,809 doesn't happen in our backyard mean that it's not terrible or that it doesn't 121 00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:11,490 affect us any more. But how long do we dare - and I include myself - to look away 122 00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:16,189 and to ignore this? Does this really work for us? I know my answer, and I believe 123 00:12:16,189 --> 00:12:20,880 many of you share the will to make things better step by step. 124 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:27,969 E: All those problems - and there are many - big and small, can easily make us 125 00:12:27,969 --> 00:12:36,519 feel helpless. So, how can a single person change anything at all? Well, there's one 126 00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:41,999 good message. There is no need to travel alone. Just take a moment and look around 127 00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:49,229 you; look at your seat neighbours. There are 3,000 people in this room alone. And 128 00:12:49,229 --> 00:12:55,199 there will be 12,000 people at Congress which is amazing. 12,000 people for you to 129 00:12:55,199 --> 00:13:00,569 get to know to make friends with or to meet again. And all of you have unique 130 00:13:00,569 --> 00:13:06,189 skills, big ideas, and all of you can do great stuff. 131 00:13:06,189 --> 00:13:10,960 A: It's up to us not to just make Congress work for us but to use this Congress to 132 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,440 connect, to share ideas, skills, and knowledge to work on projects, start new 133 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,309 projects, and connect to people. It is up to us not to stay in the gated communities 134 00:13:21,309 --> 00:13:26,649 that evolved and transport what we do here in Congress and what we start here to the 135 00:13:26,649 --> 00:13:31,989 outside world. We cannot hide under a cozy blanket and wait until the world magically 136 00:13:31,989 --> 00:13:37,742 gets better again. Now more than ever it's time to take action. This is not a game. 137 00:13:37,742 --> 00:13:39,965 There is no game. 138 00:13:39,965 --> 00:13:45,319 E: You can start right now. Gather into gangs and practice for the coming year. 139 00:13:45,319 --> 00:13:50,120 After you got your wristbands, you have the opportunity to get - wait, where do I 140 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:59,199 have it - one of these cards. Who got one already? Yeah, that's a few, that can be 141 00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:05,589 improved. Okay, you know what to do. So, maybe those of you already got one, named 142 00:14:05,589 --> 00:14:11,089 yourself and selected your special skill that is your own. If you did not grab a 143 00:14:11,089 --> 00:14:17,860 card, don't worry, you can still get one. To start, no game, but action, you need to 144 00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:22,420 form a gang with other people with different skills. 9 skills, which you can 145 00:14:22,420 --> 00:14:28,509 combine to solve tasks and to succeed. You can move and act together. You don't have 146 00:14:28,509 --> 00:14:30,839 to travel alone. 147 00:14:30,839 --> 00:14:37,859 A: There is no game. There is action. And now let Congress begin! Work, have fun, 148 00:14:37,859 --> 00:14:42,939 enjoy, get to know each other, and try to make the next year a bit better than this 149 00:14:42,939 --> 00:14:48,589 year. And, by the way, don't forget to wash your hands. 150 00:14:48,589 --> 00:14:51,040 laughter 151 00:14:51,040 --> 00:15:00,239 applause 152 00:15:00,239 --> 00:15:03,819 Wash your hands, take a shower from time to time, and don't forget to sleep and eat. 153 00:15:03,819 --> 00:15:05,789 Thank you! 154 00:15:05,789 --> 00:15:10,079 applause 155 00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:14,379 postroll music 156 00:15:14,379 --> 00:15:34,503 subtitles created by c3subtitles.de in the year 2017.
