21C3 preparations

As every year, this year's Chaos Communication Congress will take place from Dec 27th to Dec 29th in Berlin, this year as last year in the bcc at [[Alexanderplatz]]. To make it better than last year, the organizers started the website a lot sooner, although it doesn't contain that much unique content that we didn't know from the other congress websites before.

And to make everything better than the year before, a new Wiki has been started: 21c3.ccc.de. What I'm really happy about is that they took Mediawiki instead of TWiki (which they used to use before). Mediawiki is the software that Wikipedia is using, and definitely the Wiki software that is suited best for large-scale Wikis, and that most people are familiar with, even while it doesn't allow that finely grained access control as e.g. TWiki. Additionally, they even started an own weblog about 21C3, which is available at 21c3.ccc.de/weblog/.

I, for my part, also started with my preparations for 21C3: I'm currently working on a nice steganographic project based on ideas and heavily influenced by Richard Bergmair, who will himself present his work on linguistic steganography at 21C3 (if they only published the CfP ).
