Chaos Communications Camp 2011
From their own wiki: The Chaos Communication Camp is an international, five-day open-air event for hackers and associated life-forms. It provides a relaxed atmosphere for free exchange of technical, social, and political ideas. The Camp has everything you need: power, internet, food and fun. Bring your tent and participate!
A-Team at the CCC Camp
The CCC Camp attracts geeks from most of Europe for a five-day collective geek-off. Some of these people are even old enough to have shitloads of archiveables laying around in their basements. Let's use this opportunity to save as much of that as possible!
- For floppies we're gonna need a KryoFlux, currently bargaining at around €100. It lets us dump floppies of any size and format into a preservable data format.
- For physical media like magazines etc., we'll need a scanner. [who has such a device?]
Dropping the news
Once we've settled on a game plan, Jason has said he'd endorse this project, after which we can send a mail out to the CCC mailing list, use their IRC channels, and put a page on the wiki.
Getting ourselves the needed hardware
I, jch, am up for buying a KryoFlux, but unfortunately I don't have the money up-front. I can split with one or more of you and buy you out in September or October. Catch me on IRC if you're interested.
Who's going?
