As last year, around +17,000 participants are expected, including more than 2,000 volunteers. + +## Call for Participation + +We would like to fill our approximately 120 curated talk slots with +high-quality content and therefore today solicit your submissions with +our [Call for +Participation](https://content.events.ccc.de/cfp/36c3/index.en.html). + +On four days, in addition to the curated talks in five large halls, +there will be a widely varied program of self-organised workshops at the +stages of our assemblies distributed throughout the event venue. There +will also be lots of art & beauty with exhibitions, light installations, +bars and parties. + +We want to stress the unusually short submission deadline this year: 26 +October 2019. No excuses, please. + +## Call for Angels + +In order to build all that – and to tear it down again – we will once +again need our legendary and untiring Angel power. Angels are our +volunteer helpers, they are the true backbone of any CCC event. We call +upon all of you to help at Congress and become part of the event. If +possible, do plan a longer stay in Leipzig, until January 5th, in order +to help during teardown. + +## Call for Assemblies + +During the last two years in Leipzig we learned many lessons and want to +apply as much of the knowledge as possible. That’s why we intend to +change as little about the Assemblies process as possible: in order to +consolidate and exchange the knowledge and experiences we gained. + +If you have organised an Assembly last year, please expect the same +area, requirements, and infrastructure as last year. Even supposedly +small changes may lead to large planning overhead and excess preparation +time which we’re not going to have this year. + +## 36C3: Resource exhaustion + +Resource exhaustion is a [type of attack on computer +systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_exhaustion_attack) that +is considered rather crude and destructive. Even with two large scale +events this year we don’t want to execute such an attack against +ourselves. Instead we want to use our own resources in a measured, +effective way: + +Those who do know the extend of their own resources, can set [limits, to +prevent their +exhaustion](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/limits.conf.5.html). + +On an international stage this wisdom appears to be absent. Resources +are exhausted knowingly and willfully, instead of limiting their use. +Two years ago, during 34C3, we [dedicated a day of our schedule to the +topic of global climate +change](https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2017/Fahrplan/schedule/3.html), +and in the year following that we joined forces with other civil rights +and environment protection NGOs for the [Bits & Bäume +conference](https://bits-und-baeume.org/info/de). + +It is in this tradition and with this spirit that we see this year's +congress's motto **36C3: Resource Exhaustion**.**** -- cgit v1.2.3
