So who said that Hackers cannot survive outside closed buildings?

Closing ceremony is just over and the approximately 2000 visitors of Chaos Communication Camp 2007 are packing their electronic gear and camping equipment, as well as assessing the damage caused by yesterday’s heavy rain. Those of you who did not make it here missed 5 days of exciting cultural exchange in a truly unique environment. To get an idea what it was like, check out the picture archive.

The hottest topics discussed all over the camp were a new german law in effect banning hacker tools and the so-called Bundestrojaner, proposed to make online searches of suspect’s computers possible. And then there were talks. A lot of them, covering various technical, cultural, social and legal aspects. For those missing a talk or missing camps altogether there is some hope: All talks in the big speaking areas were recorded and will be made publicly available for download sometime later.

And finaly what I liked most: Powerpoint Karaoke

Speakers and volunteers from the audience get a random powerpoint presentation to present, seeing the slides for the first time while doing so. Just so funny to watch!
