FYI - the new conference of Chaos Computer Club, more on politics and less
on geekdom. I've been asked to invite foreign colleagues from the NGO
world. Some travel funding is available for speakers. CU there?

Purpose and Scope

SIGINT is a conference on discourse in the digital age, brought to you by
the Chaos Computer Club, one of the biggest and most influential hacker
organizations in Europe. Its stated purpose is to bring together,
surprise, and enlighten those interested in playful and clever
interactions with computers, networks, art, politics, and society. SIGINT
is about participation and making the world a better place. The conference
takes place in Cologne, Germany, in close proximity to the Ruhr area in
Western Germany and not far from the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium,
and Luxemburg.

The name SIGINT stands for intelligence-gathering by interception of
signals in the world of secret services and should also be immediately
recognized as short for "signal interrupt" by Unix geeks -- just grep for
SIGINT in /usr/include/asm/signal.h in your Linux source. No matter what
angle you look at it from, SIGINT the conference is about meaningful
signals in the stream of information, about what is relevant and what is
entropy and chaos.

SIGINT will feature invited talks, keynotes, and performances. Discussions
and workshops will get every participant involved throughout the day.
However, we also want you to contribute your ideas for talks and send in
your submissions!

Each of the three days of SIGINT has a theme. Submissions should be
related to one of the themes.

Day 1: Control and Surveillance

We would love to hear about international security architectures and the
emerging "Homeland Security Industrial Complex" in the EU, deep packet
inspection at ISPs, Internet censorship, crowd control and surveillance
technology, philosophical reflections on the shift from the disciplinary
society to the society of control, data retention, and state repression.
The first day is on the state of society and its tendencies of control.

Day 2: Pranks, Bugs, and Insecurities

We want submissions on the hacking of and interventions in urban spaces,
anonymity and pseudonymity hacks, creative pranks for your computer and
those of others, embarrassing security holes, hacktivism, and safe havens
for hackers and pirates. The second day is the antithesis to the first day
and celebrates deviants in society with their tactics and lifestyles
against the current mainstream idea of security.

Day 3: The Future of Everything

We want to hear about promising and disturbing visions of the future, from
genetic hacking to the post-copyright society, 3D printers, new forms of
democracy, the changing roles of privacy and individuality, robots and
human rights, and a critique of the current economy. The third day
concludes the conference. We are interested in answers to pressing
problems, but we also want to hear new questions asked.
