The CCC really needs to sort out their internet presence. It’s confusing. A little hopefully helpful list:

Schedule: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/

Official streams: http://27c3.fem-net.de/

Status information on the official streams: http://twitter.com/c3streaming

Unofficial HTTP streams (what this submission links to): http://27c3.iphoneblog.de/

Congress Wiki: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/wiki/Welcome

You should be able to find the recordings on the Wiki soon.

Not so relevant for those who only want to watch the streams are the congress blog and Twitter account: http://events.ccc.de/ and https://twitter.com/27c3

And if it weren’t in German I would now link the news report about the first congress in 1984 for context and fun. Ah, well, I will do it anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWJcq5_qNA

More streams: http://27c3.fem-net.de/

Quick link to the keynote (live right now): http://saal1.h264.27c3.fem-net.de/

I'm looking for a schedule for this event but when trying to view http://events.ccc.de/ I keep getting an "Error establishing a database connection" error..

Anyone with a working schedule?

This should be working fine. Try http://events.ccc.de.nyud.net/congress/2010/Fahrplan/index.e...

To get a good overview of presentations today see: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/day_2010-12-27.e...

I really wish I could be there in person. Was really looking forward to talking to some of the people behind YaCy (http://www.yacy.net/). :<

The keynote speaker, Jacob Applebaum, really knows how to woo the crowd. He has some great points like:

"Even though the government has a monopoly on violence, violence cannot solve math problems."

heh

Jake Applebaum is doing the keynote? I thought that Rob G. did that

Yea it was Rop Gonggrijp.

I stand corrected.

The government actually doesn't have a monopoly on violence/force: self-defense and citizen's arrest are counterexamples.

Both self defense and citizen’s arrest have very strict limits and are consequently rarely used. The government has a practical monopoly on violence. It’s certainly closer to the truth to say that the government has a monopoly on violence than to say that the government doesn’t have one.

You can directly stream these with mplayer:

Sound might not be working right yet.

I'm coming to Berlin for a vacation, I'll pop by on Wednesday if there are one day tickets available for that day.

iphoneblog?

I too was curious at first but it seems like a true hacker is simply using one of his domains. Seems not to be shady marketing.

yep, he is one of the "bits und so" guys, a german tech podcast with many listeners from the hacking community.
