music startsound of an old mac (G3 or so) laughter and applause electronic music applause Carina: Welcome Linus: to 32c3 applause Congratulations! You have obtained access privileges to this community event. Gated communities are the leading model of our societies We all have seen and experienced them before, from the outside. Communities that wouldn't let us in. Communities that wouldn't accept us as who we are. Communities that would exercise their power over us. But we have overcome we didn't even mean to do so we probably didn't even realize it at first but when we build our own first gated communities we came to enjoy their advantages insurmountable borders keep out what we don't know and hence fear strong leaders and simple rules relieve us of the burden of thinking for ourselves and we're shielded from the reverse side of our wealth, waste and wastefulness with all of us being the same there is no inequality anymore Or is there? With all of us having the same opinions and beliefs there is no dissent anymore. Or is there? Carina: And of course we like living in communities. Living in the community is like living in one of those bottles they contain perfect little worlds. Where everything fits together and everybody shares the same philosophy and if you look outside, the bottle glass distorts your view and what you see looks strange and might even scare you so you decide to stay inside where it's comfy and safe and really really boring. we need to break the safety glass there is so much out there to discover there are new adventures waiting for us new challenges to be mastered together and new experiences waiting to be made. this is what being a hacker, being a nerd and being at Congress is about to make new experiences to start new challenges and to learn something new. Linus: So let us hereby release some steam from the density and narrowness of our bottles. electronic rumbling and champagner cork popping sound And let us raise our glasses to the success of the chaos expansion strategy. laughing applause the chaos mentors have been opening gates ever since 30c3 this year we have 42 mentors and they are welcoming more than 200 mentees this year and it's amazing! applause check out one of the introductions that we got and we got 200 of them but we picked this one because we liked it very much. Carina: So, I am a 50+ female but... laughing applause Yes, I might look young for that. I am a 50+ female but ad-networks keep categorizing me as a 25-year-old computer enthusiast. At least they are not offering any anti age products Linus: And the beauty of the chaos mentoring program is, that most of the former mentees are now mentors themselves and I think this is what would be called exponential growth and that's usually a good thing. laughing So please welcome our chaos mentees! applause but our efforts for world domination are not limited to Congress. The CMS project reaches out to schools to indoctrinate newcomers and to recruit them as future hackers and freedom fighters Thanks for their efforts applause speaking of freedom fighters many of you are engaged in the freifunk community and I am very happy to announce that the freifunk community has equipped almost 100 refugee shelters with free wireless Internet access. Thank you guys! applause But what's all this infrastructure worth if it is not used to build sustainable structures of empowerment. And many of you maybe know the refugees emancipation project a team that builds Internet cafés in refugee shelters and offers computer workshops for the people living there for refugees by refugees and many of you have supported and donated to refugees emancipation thank you for that applause Carina: This summer was a special summer for a lot of us it was the summer of the camp we met in the middle of nowhere to explore unknown territories and live just for a few days in our own perfect little world some of you live this every day and 27 local CCC chapters all of you not only share the fruits of our work but also the work itself of course this is also true for Congress here. Over 1000 angels supported this Congress in the last year. this year I am sure we will break this number applause angels are visitors like you and me they volunteer to do all the jobs which need to be done to run Congress they help you at the infodesk they operate the cameras they serve you Tschunk at the bar and they even collect your empty Mate bottles they do whatever needs to be done even up to this moment angels already dedicated hundreds of hours of work to create this amazing state and this amazing space for us applause And if things don't go well for once maybe you have to wait in line always remember: at the end of the line an angel is working and he's working hard they are doing this for fun and not for profit so instead of complaining take the chance and thank them for their amazing work applause and you can always offer a helping hand or even better become an angel yourself go online, sign up, and grab some shifts because Congress is a community event. Do not come here to consume but to contribute and to become a part of it just like a lot of people already are doing this results in the Congress as we know it with so much to explore Next to the amazing lecture program which I think most of you have already noticed there are assemblies where people from around the world come and show their projects they invite you to play with their toys and to talk to them about what they have done also there are workshops which cover all kinds of topics take part in one and learn something you haven't even heard of or offer one yourself everybody knows something or can do something, others don't information about workshops and about Congress itself can be found online in the Wiki Linus: If you catch the Wiki when it's not down laughing applause create an off-line backup please - we are looking for one ourselves laughing with Congress being a community event there is one thing that goes without saying but I think I need to repeat it once more leave your damn business at home applause I am sure your start-up is the next big thing and there is a lot of fancy people to hire here and there is a trade fair for your amazing business proposal every other week of the year but this is not one of them. applause Carina: speaking of your business: this year we changed the gender-based binary concept of the bathrooms The majority of them is simply for everybody. But of course we also think about our minorities so if you can't handle the new more fuzzy logic-concept there's still some classic gender-based bathrooms for you available over the conference area. applause Speaking of bathrooms please wash your hands regularly. applause viruses are a known threat to hacker conferences Linus: but not only viruses can bring you hell! You are at an acute risk of resource extinction so please follow the 6-2-1 principle Get six hours of sleep, two proper meals, and one shower - and that is per day! applause And also drink more water. you may have noticed this little logo that we have here with this fancy animation and you have seen one before that had an even more fancy animation in it and I know there is a couple of 3-D printers around so speaking of new challenges I figured that might be one for you. with all that said please be excellent to each other become a part and not a consumer of this event and explore the things, people and ideas you don't know yet Carina: let us together approach the new adventures waiting for us let us together master new challenges and let us together make new experiences we have not even dreamed of let us together break the gates! applause electronic music subtitles created by c3subtitles.de in the year 2016.
