|
| Fingers crossed that we can meet in person next year!

| Reading from your linked summary, I get the impression it's
| not just about being a member of the parliament
| bijant wrote:
| I have read it. It's filled with the usual politicians

| A lot of these talks are held by people that are closely

| selected talks.
|
| Also please note that the ccc was founded in the TAZ

|
| There was a CfP process and speakers could pick one or more
| channels they'd like their content to be with (channels are
| not just individual Erfas too, many streams are run by many
| different groups together), and the channels coordinated who
| picks up what talk. At least the channel where I have insight
| in the process, the majority of talks is by people who aren't
| "members". So while there are no "main stages", the other
| channels are open to all (just as many usually are at
| congress).

| EDIT: CfP announcement for reference

|
| The German talks appear to be largely political, concerning
| issues one probably wouldn't care about anyways if one does not
| speak German. For instance there's a talk about making Hamburg
| ad-free.
|
| With few exceptions the things that may be interesting to an
| international audience are in English.
