Hi,

we are the conference organization team of the Chaos Computer Club. This
e-mail contains the Call for Papers for the upcoming 22nd Chaos
Communication Congress, also known as "22C3: Private Investigations"
that is about to take place at the end of this year in Berlin, Germany.

Attached you will find the 22C3 Call for Papers which outlines what 22C3
will be about and what to do if you want to apply for a lecture to be
included in the program. Please note our official deadline is October
1st, 2005.

Even if you are not planning to give a lecture yourself we kindly ask
you to pass the CfP along to friends, communities, public mailing lists
or other channels that you might think are appropriate and that might
address people who are willing to give a lecture at our event. If you do
pass this along, we would highly appreciate if you would let us know who
you have addressed so that we might be able to target these channels
ourselves next time.

Please get back to us at 22c3-content cccv.de for all requests that are
related to the conference program in general. If you have separate
organizational requests please direct your e-mail to 22c3-orga cccv.de
instead.

Call for Papers

22C3: Private Investigations
22nd Chaos Communication Congress
Berliner Congress Center
Berlin, Germany,
27/28/29/30 December 2005
http://www.ccc.de/congress/2005/



Overview
========

The 22nd Chaos Communication Congress (22C3) is a four-day conference on
technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and
workshops  on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to)
information technology, IT-security, internet, cryptography and
generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the
discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

The Chaos Communication Congress is the annual congress of the Chaos
Computer Club e.V. (CCC). The Congress has established itself as the
"European Hacker Conference" assembling people from all over the world.

Even more important, the Congress is a great party bringing together the
brightest heads of a variety of cultures and interests strengthening the
idea of cross-culture inspiration and borderless networking. 22C3 is
fun.



Topics
======

The 22C3 conference program is roughly divided into five separate
categories. These categories should serve as guidelines for your
submissions and as a help to our visitors. However, it is not mandatory
for your talk to exactly match the descriptions below. Anything that is
interesting for our audience will be strongly considered.


Hacking
-------

The 'Hacking' domain addresses topics dealing with technology,
concentrating on current research with high technical merit.
Traditionally, the majority of all talks held tend to be drawn from this
domain.

Topics in this domain include but are in no way limited to: network and
system security, programming, hardware hacking, applied cryptography and
creative use of technology in an unintended way in general.


Science
-------

The 'Science' domain deals with current or future objects of scientific
research that have the potential to radically change our lives, be it
basic research or conducted for the industry.

We are looking for talks and papers on the current state of the art in
this domain, covering subjects such as nano technology, quantum
computing, high frequency physics, bio technology, brain-computer
interfaces, automated analysis of surveillance cctv, etc.


Society
-------

This domain deals with the state of society itself. Anything about
politics and sociology with a relevance for hackers would go in here.

Possible topics could include wire tapping laws, surveillance practices,
net politics, intellectual property and copyright issues, effects of
technology on kids etc.


Culture
-------

Dealing with cultural mind expansion, this domain adresses to the fringe
of the technoverse. Examples would be Diskordianism, geek entertainment,
video game culture, computer music, pixel art, and literature for
hackers.


Community
---------

The Chaos Communication Congress invites developers, projects and
activists to present themselves and their topics at the Congress.

Developer groups are also encouraged to ask for support to hold smaller
on-site developer conferences and meetings in  the course of the
Congress.


Publication
===========

The Chaos Communication Congress Proceedings are published on paper and
online on the Internet. Only talks and presentations that were actually
accepted will be published.

Audio and video recordings of each lecture will be published online as
well in various formats. All material will be available under the
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Germany license
allowing free non-commercial redistribution of the material as long as

If you'd like to publish your work under a more liberal license, you
should state this with your submission. See below for submission
guidelines.



Further Information
===================

Since the Chaos Communication Congress is a non-profit oriented event,
we are unfortunately unable to pay any fees. Help on travel expenses and
accomodation is generally possible but is to be agreed upon after
acceptance of the lecture/workshop.

You can find the perliminary agenda at

http://www.ccc.de/congress/2005/

You will find also information on the registration procedure for

22c3-content (at) cccv (dot) de.



Submissions
===========

Language
--------

We are looking for speakers who can give lectures and/or workshops in
either English or German. 22C3 is an international event, so we have a
certain focus on having a large share of talks in English, for the
benefit of our growing number of international guests.


However, the quality of the presentation should come first. If you feel
insecure, received criticism from your audience before, or if you just
fear that the value and understandibility of your talk might suffer,
please choose German.
