The same procedure as last year? The same procedure as every year! I attended the annual Chaos Communication Congress which took place between the 27th to 30th of Dec in the Congress Center Hamburg, Germany. It is an annual conference with this time around 16.500 visitors, over 140 talks/lectures and hundreds of workshops about technology, security, freedom of speech, privacy, and society. The not-for-profit congress is entirely organised and run by thousands of volunteers, many of them organized as Angels.
Most of the talks have been recorded and you can download or watch them online. If you want to have a more comfortable way of watching the talks on an Android phone/tablet/TV or Amazon Fire TV, check out the app Chaosflix.
The recordings are usually available in various languages and have subtitles. Check out the video settings (gear icon) to find out about the available translations. Missing subtitles might be added later. You can also help adding/improving the subtitles, just check out the corresponding link for subtitles below each video.
