We want to meet hackers world wide
by ohai＠hackitat.com 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi we are making a documentary about the global hacker culture, especially, the political side of hacking. We are emailing spaces around the world to see what kind of interesting projects that are in process so that we can feature them in the documentary. We want to tell the story of the hacker community with the voices of the hackers themselves. We also want to do a film about the global hacker culture visiting the four corners of the earth. Below is a text about the film. On the 29th of November 2009 Malmö's hackerspace Forskningsavdelningen was raided by masked riot police. Armed with batons and pepper spray they stormed the social center where the hackerspace housed and confiscated computers and other technical equipment. One of the people detained was a hacker named mackt. With a background in The Pirate Bay, for him the raid was yet another proof of society’s mistrust and lack of understanding of hacker culture. After the incident he wanted to do something about the distorted image of hackers. He contacted the film collective RåFILM in Malmö and the idea was born to make a documentary that explains the political aspects of hacker culture beyond the simplifications and preconceptions. The film will take them out on a long trip to the famous and infamous hackers and activists around the world, hackers that express themselves artistically and politically through technology. What are their motivations? What are the politics and activism hacker culture has shaped out? How does this impact our world? The film will feature unique encounters with people that usually elude the public. It will crash land in the middle of the conflict currently taking place between those who want to keep the technology and the Internet free and those who want to control it. Cheers, Alex, Gonzalo and Mackt This is our crowdfunding.

Navsteva z EGU-HV Labu pristi utery
by Radka Haneckova 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Ahojte, minuly vikend sa niekolko z nas zucastnilo akcie organizovanej Ceskym Rozhlasom - prehliadky Laboratore velmi vysokych napeti (EGU-HV Laboratory) v Prahe - Bechovicich. Blizssie info k samotnej akcii a k EGU-HV najdete tu http://www.rozhlas.cz/meteor/magazin/_zprava/4-srpna-s-meteorem-do-laborato… a fotky z nasej akcie su na soup.brmlab.cz :) V EGU-HV sa zaoberaju testovanim materialov velmi vysokym napetim (okrem ineho tam maju najvacssi teslak v Europe). Prehliadku viedol Ing. Lubomir Kocis, podla slov jeho kolegu "jeden z nejvecsich evropskych expertu v oboru" - co teda mozme potvrdit, vyklad bol zaujmavy a pan Kocis nam po prehliadke ochotne ukazal i niekolko jeho vlastnych vynalezov a vylepseni. Napadlo ma preto, ho na oplatku pozvat na navstevu k nam do Brmlabu - pozvanku prijal a dohodli sme sa ze sa zastavi buduci utorok (14. 8.) o 18:00. Od vas preto potrebujem, aby ste prisli v co najvacssom pocte - a predviedli niektore z nasich projektov. Cim viac sa nam toho podari ukazat, tym lepsi dojem spravime a mozno sa nam podari sa do EGU-HV laborky znovu pozriet (oficialne sa pre verejnost otvaraju len raz za tri roky). Myslim si, ze v Brmlabe mame kopu projektov ktore stoja za ukazku, tak verim ze nesklameme :) Zaroven zaujem o navstevu prejavil aj redaktor vedecko-technickej rozhlasovej relacie Meteor pan Janac, ktory sa zastavi spolu s panom Kocisom buduci utorok. Dalsi dovod ukazat sa v co najlepsom svetle (co takto trochu uklidit? ;) Myslim si ze je to uzasna prilezitost aj pre nas brmlabakov, dozvediet sa na com pracuju ostatni clenovia. Kto z vas ma teda cas a chut, dajte vediet! Zdravi chido -- "It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation which is truly the most important time in your life." Lewis Wolpert

Re: [Brmlab] no sugar drinks in Brmbar

> what is happening with the 7 crowns made on each club mate bottle. They get gathered in the cashbox and are used for small brmlab expenses (ducttapes, paper, etc.). - lab consumes around 5-7 cases a week. and other odds and ends that is a lot of tape and paper? that is just club-mate.. 20 bottles per case, 7 crowns each. > what is happening at the moment with empty bottles in the lab that carry a > rebate in the Czech republic? Nothing, AFAIK. Their sell price is including the rebate. In part, this is because glass bottles except club mate are very rare in brmbar, we had those only a couple of times. If thanks to someone, we manage to return some bottles, the profit goes to brmbar. -so it would be a good idea to order more drinks in glass, that carry a rebate? like the Zon drink? small Czech company.. 160 cases and we don't see any clear plan to ever convert them to money so far. -The cases belong to me, i decided it was a good idea not to put them in the bin. When i have around 250, i'll take them to Germany, and get the rebate. The plan was clear from the start. As far as I have heard, the problem here is with the passive tense you use "the bottles would be returned" - who would take care of that? If for whatever reason, noone does, we are making a loss, and that's no good. -If the Brmlab community would take the bottles to Divus, Divus would give new ones and take the old ones back. the price of the bottle includes the rebate, so get a rebate, if you throw bottles in the bin the lab looses money...all these small amounts add up, and you can make projects from this. why make the individual responsible? sorry not used to mailing lists.. jam

no sugar drinks in Brmbar
by Jamison Young 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi, I just canceled an order for 5 cases of mineral water, that i brought into the lab. Cost to the lab for the 100 drinks would be 800 crowns. Sale price 10 crowns each. The problem with this order "i'm told" is that its not possible for the lab to take responsibility for the rebate for the containers and bottles. The plastic cases that the bottles are deliverd in cost 50 crowns each (5 of them) and the the rebate on each bottle is 3 crowns. The place the bottles would be returned to is the Divus cafe. I was told by Divus that i was given the drinks at the cost price. That seemed like a good idea? and having some drinks not loaded with sugar, is it a good idea? anyway: I've decided not to go through with this as it seems that its to complicated to get this approved by the space, or at least one member. I just put a case in my own fridge downstairs:) for the future though::: I would like to know. what is the minimum that i can buy for the Brmbar? what is the approval process for putting something in the bar? who is that man that approves buy orders what is happening at the moment with empty bottles in the lab that carry a rebate in the Czech republic? other things to think about. what is happening with the 7 crowns made on each club mate bottle. why are so many bottles being thrown in the glass bin of club mate, when i can get 3 Euro's per case in Germany. I have around 160 cases at the moment.. I know that Brmbar is not supposed to make a profit, yet i'm making a profit from it! Jam

by Pavel Ruzicka 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

Call for Participation for 29th Chaos Communication Congress 27|28|29|30 December 2012, Hamburg, Germany The Event ========= The Chaos Communication Congress is an annual four-day conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). First held in 1984, it has since established itself as “The European Hacker Conference” attracting a diverse audience of thousands of hackers, scientists, artists, and practical utopists from all around the world. 29C3 will be an entirely new Congress experience. The location will change to the city of Hamburg in northern Germany to provide a large venue to the growing number of enthusiastic participants of the Congress who have always been much more than just visitors. Expect a spirit more similar to that of outdoor hacking events like the CCC Camp, just indoors. There will be room for all kind of fun activities, smaller informal talks and workshops, more permanent installations and way more options to relax and socialise. To make this happen, we offer lots of space for groups to set up installations, project demonstrations, small workshops and come together in a village-style setting like you know it from the CCC Camps. Keeping that in mind, we invite you to send us proposals for talks, lectures and workshops on all topics of relevance, also bring your installations and projects. The following areas are of particular interest: - Hackers as the digital armourer for the coming cyberwars? - Ethical responsibility of exceptional talents and powers - Dancing with the devil – funding models for research and development, risks and ethical dilemmata - DPI (deep packet inspection) – current state of introduction, breaking, circumvention and political situation - Mobile Device Hacking and Telecommunications Security, Security of Apps - Privacy enhancing technologies – next generation anonymity systems, filesharing security, overlay networks, encryption - Privacy in the age of Big Data – policy options, power questions and new human rights - Net and device neutrality – ownership, censorship, circumvention and the politics of de-facto standards, search engine politics - Novel Exploitation Techniques for all kind of technology - Programming languages — state of the art and research - Future or no future of IT security – state of fail, new concepts and methods, implications for society and infrastructure - Retrocomputing, Video Game Culture and Art - Molecular cuisine and kitchen hacks - Cryptography, Cryptoanalysis and Cryptopolitics - Reverse Engineering, Forensics and Anti-Forensics – Technology, Law and Politics - New economic systems – alternatives to the collapsing financial markets, micropayment and electronic currencies - Energy – concepts for a future world with scarce and expensive energy ressources - Robotics – humanoid, football playing, autonomous vehicles, (armed) drones, ethics, utopias and dystopias - Social Networks – unexpected use, abuse and analysis - New ways of education, learning, teaching - Politics and technology of surveillance and opression – state trojans, interception, social media monitoring, laws and countermovements - Xenolinguistics and languages of non-human intelligences, possibly from outer space - Revolutions and Hacktivism - Clouds – hacking, breaking, unexpected usage - Competitive soldering - Lockpicking - Transparency and participation in politics and governance - Copyright and Patents – the war on filesharing, alternatives to the current system - Making and fabbing – technologies, tools, economy, models for sharing - Transportation – hacking, usage privacy, innovation and new concepts for an energy starved era - Fun with large datasets and visualizing data - Hacker Space Program, Space Travel and Satellites – technology, goals and ethics Submission Guidelines ===================== For Talks, Lectures and Workshops: Please try to submit a meaningful and complete description that tells us about your presentation. The description is all the content comitee has to judge your submission by, so better be convincing. Quality, not size does matter. Sales and marketing droids are known to vanish without any trace at the congress, please refrain from submitting company or product propaganda. Also consider that other people may submit a talk on the same topic, so please indicate why your talk is special. Feel free to also include some facts about yourself and your motivation. We don’t care if your talk has already been held at a conference on the other side of the world, but please make sure your content is up-to-date. Lectures should not exceed 45 minutes plus up to 15 minutes for questions and answers. Longer time slots are possible if we feel the topic demands it (please tell us if necessary). Due to the success at last year’s 28C3, there will also be slots for 20 minutes. Please state the length of your presentation clearly on your submission. There are also five-minute “lightning talk” slots for “I have written this cool thing”-announcements, “someone should do this”-rants and other brief contributions. Those are not reviewed by our content team, check the wiki-page beforehand. For Projects, Installations and other fun stuff: A formal submission is not required. There will be a Wiki with some guidelines on the data needed to plan for space and other requirements. Feel free to already start thinking about what you may want to bring, show or organize so you are ready when the Wiki goes online. There will be lots of space, so we are very open for crazy and surprising things to show up. Language of the Presentation: While the 29C3 is an international conference that aims to present lots of content in English, we would rather have a good presentation in German than a bad one in so-called Denglisch. So please be honest when judging your language skills and choose your lecture language accordingly. There is no language bias in judging the merrit of submissions. There is a live-translation project that hopes to provide cross-translation for many lectures. Publication: Audio and video recordings of the lectures will be published online in various formats. All material will be available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Germany License. Note that this license allows for the commercial use of the content to allow media organisations to use snippets from lecture recordings for their reporting. If you wish to use alternatively a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Germany License or if you require that your lecture is not recorded or streamed at all, please state this with your submission. If you don’t tell us otherwise, audio and video of your lecture will be under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Germany License. Travel expenses: The Chaos Communication Congress is a non-profit oriented event and speakers are not paid. However, financial help on travel expenses and accommodation is possible. It needs to be agreed upon after acceptance of the submission, though. Don’t be shy and state your requirements in the application when submitting your lecture and we’ll work something out. Dates and Deadlines: - September 30th, 2012 (23:59 UTC): Submission deadline - November 15th, 2012: Final notification of acceptance - December 27th – 30th, 2012: Chaos Communication Congress Online Submissions only: All talks, lecture and workshop proposals must be submitted online using our online lecture submission system at https://cccv.pentabarf.org/submission/29C3. Please follow the instructions given there. If you have any questions regarding your submission, feel free to contact us at 29c3-content(at)cccv.de
