August 2003, Paulshof in Altlandsberg,
30 km to Berlin. You don't know it? Actually
you don't need to - as long as you are not a computer
freak.
It was the second time the "Chaos Communication
Camp" took place. Presentations, workshops and
projects concerning security and hacking. A must-see
for everybody interested in computer knowledge.

"Please connect"

2000 peple followd the call and transformed
the horse ranch into a great camp. PC's, notebooks
or network cables everywhere you looked.
A persons' age or natioanality were irrelevant.
Everybody was just interested in one thing:
What's the news in the IT and security-sector?
To make a long story short: Whatever Woodstock
has once been, three cheers for Cyberwood!
|
The program for
the confernce was multifaceted. TCG (the former
TCPA), Digital-Rights-Management-Systeme
and it's effects on Open-Source-Software
or the innovations in the security
and monitoring systems. Two large
Presentation tents have been installed for several
topics. Another hundrets small private tents
provided the interchange of ideas after the
presentations. Or were being used to dwarf -
the computers!
But a computer and it's user without electricity
seem to be like a horse ranch without horses.
The "Chaos Computer Club", organizer
of this meeting, provided the neccessary infrastructure:
the camp was connected to the Internet by a
65 Mbit/s transmission path. 28 WLAN Points
were installed ans about 23 km of cables had
to be linked. The Chaos Communication Camp even
installed its own radio.

|
The "Chaos Communication
Camp" evolved to the superlatives of the
cyber culture. Youngest knowledge was exchanged
within a convenient atmosphere. And in the end
it was crowned as a success.
|
We are already waiting
for the third part of the event in 2007. There
will be thousands of participants again.
August 2003, Paulshof in Altlandsberg,
30 km to Berlin. From now on this place
will be famous - okay, it's just among us computer
freak, but it's a beginning!

The „Chaos Communiction
Camp“
– ein meeting point for everybody.
It was just dogs, that were not allowd,
and - yes, trust your eyes, microwaves.
Because they are using the same frequency
as the wireless LAN!
