CCC invites all model citizens to 40C3

CCC 邀请所有“模范公民”参加 40C3

The word is on the street: the Chaos Computer Club is hosting 40C3 from 27 to 30 December 2026 – Europe’s biggest hacker party, conference and platform for technology, society and civil liberties. We understand the Congress to be a huge shared stage and therefore invite you to help shape it. 消息传开了:混沌计算机俱乐部(Chaos Computer Club,简称 CCC)将于 2026 年 12 月 27 日至 30 日举办 40C3——这是欧洲规模最大的黑客派对、会议,也是探讨技术、社会和公民自由的平台。我们将此次大会视为一个巨大的共享舞台,因此诚邀您共同参与塑造它。

The Call for Participation for talks, the entertainment programme, art, punk and music opens today. Everything is getting bigger, more colourful and more beautiful. Following our moving to the Hamburg Exhibition halls, there is once again plenty of space for creative ideas. 针对演讲、娱乐节目、艺术、朋克和音乐的参与征集(Call for Participation)于今日正式开启。一切都在变得更大、更丰富多彩、更美好。随着我们迁至汉堡展览中心,创意空间再次变得充裕。

Obviously, we want to make the most of this new space, which is why we are inviting all galactic beings to the 40th Chaos Communication Congress from 27 to 30 December 2026. With the idea of this year’s motto ‘Model Citizens’ in mind, we want to work together to find new models for society, now that the ‘Model Citizens’ of the past have left the planet in a precarious state. 显然,我们希望充分利用这个新空间,因此我们邀请所有银河系生物参加于 2026 年 12 月 27 日至 30 日举行的第 40 届混沌通信大会(40C3)。秉持今年“模范公民”(Model Citizens)的主题,我们希望共同探索新的社会模式,毕竟过去的“模范公民”已经让这个星球陷入了岌岌可危的境地。

There are loads of ways to go about this. For example, the Congress is the biggest non-commercial hacker conference, organised by volunteers, supported by thousands of unpaid helpers and over 16,000 visitors who don’t just passively consume the event, but actively help to shape it. 实现这一目标的方式有很多。例如,本次大会是规模最大的非商业性黑客会议,由志愿者组织,并得到数千名无偿助手和超过 16,000 名访客的支持——他们不仅仅是被动的参与者,更是积极的塑造者。

Times have become harsher. The consensus that, in a democratic society, we should work in solidarity towards a shared, better future is increasingly giving way to the model of an authoritarian state, in which the stronger impose their views on the weaker. Personal commitment and a sense of responsibility are taking a back seat to the call for a strong hand that is supposed to make everything ‘great again’. 时代变得更加严酷。在民主社会中,我们应团结一致迈向共同美好未来的共识,正日益让位于威权国家的模式,即强者将自己的观点强加于弱者。个人承诺和责任感正退居二线,取而代之的是对“铁腕”的呼唤,声称要让一切“再次伟大”。

The remaining liberal forces are fighting rearguard actions and no longer attempt to create something new, but merely to prevent things from getting worse. We see things differently, with a more combative spirit: the Congress was and remains the model for how things can be different. Differences are seen as an asset, the unfamiliar as a source of inspiration, and mutual needs as an opportunity to create a sense of community in which everyone feels comfortable and welcome. 残存的自由力量正在进行后卫战,不再试图创造新事物,而仅仅是为了防止局势恶化。我们则以更具战斗力的精神看待这一切:大会过去是、现在依然是“事物可以有所不同”的典范。差异被视为一种资产,陌生被视为灵感的源泉,而相互需求则被视为创造社区感的契机,让每个人都能感到舒适和受欢迎。

For our time-honoured lecture programme at 40C3, we are calling for speakers to respond to our Call for Content; we are also reaching out to DJs and musicians to bring their talents to our lounge and party stages. Artists and designers can apply via our Call for Art with exhibits, sculptures and performances that do not require a stage. For our Punk-Späti, we’re looking for accomplices and fellow troublemakers for anarchic and anti-fascist performances in our usual warm yet rough-and-ready atmosphere. 对于 40C3 备受推崇的讲座项目,我们呼吁演讲者响应我们的内容征集(Call for Content);我们也诚邀 DJ 和音乐家在我们的休息室和派对舞台上展示才华。艺术家和设计师可以通过我们的艺术征集(Call for Art)申请,展示无需舞台的展品、雕塑和表演。对于我们的“朋克深夜档”(Punk-Späti),我们正在寻找同谋者和捣乱伙伴,在我们要塞般温暖却又粗犷的氛围中进行无政府主义和反法西斯表演。
