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
