Berlin, 26/12: Chaos Communication Congress: women only breakfast get-together

In case any of you are plan­ning to attend the upco­ming 26th Chaos

Commu­ni­ca­tion Congress in Berlin Dec 27–30 I’d like to invite you to the women only break­fast get-toget­her follo­wed by a short set of works­hops by women for women.



= Monday, Dec 28, 10am – 12 and 12 – 2pm =



Both are orga­ni­sed through the tiny network of female hackers within the CCC, the Haeck­sen. The word «Haeck­sen» resem­bles both the female hackers as well as witches – in German «Hexen», pronoun­ced just like «Haeck­sen».



(For the time being the website announ­ce­ments are in German but I’m

working on having that chan­ged.)



The works­hop has three parts:



* I’ll be doing a short intro­duc­tion to blog­ging and the do’s and don’t

of weblogs.



If there is inter­est (and time) I’d also like to start exchan­ging ideas

about why it is that the world of blogs seems to be even more exclu­sive to women than the real world. E.g. in the top 100 of German language blogs the first 34 are writ­ten by men.



* Chris­tine Sontag is going to present «Cyber­men­tor: An E-Mento­ring

program for girls in MINT»



* Martina Freun­dor­fer will intro­duce «GnuPG & encryp­tion: How do I

encrypt my email»

Is anyone plan­ning to attend the confe­rence at all? It would be nice to
