Just three talks at 39C3

The 39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3) takes place in Hamburg from December 27th to December 30th. Check out the Wikipedia article [1] to see what kind of conference/experience it is.

The program [2] of talks, performances, and workshops is absolutely massive. No matter how well you plan your visit, you will miss things and that’s okay and part of it all. It would be almost unfair to single out specific talks. And yet, that’s what I’m going to do with just three of them.

These three talks have a relevance for Wikimedia topics or are just ahem… fun. I also might participate in two of them.

See you at 39C3?
