 and how-to run a conference for and by the community?

  • HackConf.in is… **

  • Chaos Communication Congress (C3 by CCC) is…**

… an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. For 30 years, the congress has been organized by the community.

  • We are all together…**

… self-motivated and independent hackers and makers from India and all over the world. We wanna go the open source way, because we love what we do and believe in the strength/goodness(??) of our tools and knowledge.

At IIT Kanpur @sva and @adarshaj will present those three concepts, and then talk about how to run a conference on learning, but on the fun, the joy and the mindfulness: People that think differently about technology and de-emphasize the commercial and exclusionist aspects of it come together and share thoughts to contribute to an open information society.
