Tim Pritlove Jens (argh, need some sleep!) from the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has asked for more english blog posts about 22C3, the upcoming hacker conference in Berlin. So here you go.

Reminder:

The 22nd Chaos Communication Congress (22C3) is a four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and workshops on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology, IT-security, internet, cryptography and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

The congress (sub-titled "Private Investigations") will be held from December 27th to 30th, 2005, in Berlin, Germany.

Some noteworthy bits and pieces:

• If I don't get hit by a bus, I'll be there.
• They have an (English) event blog which should keep you up to date.
• The 22C3 public wiki launched today.
• There are very nice 22C3 wallpapers available now (thanks to Antenne).
• The CongressRadio team will be podcasting during the congress.
• There is a 22C3 Planet (actually there are two).

This is gonna be one of the highlights of this year, I'm really looking forward to the congress.
