38C3

The 38th edition of Chaos Communication Congress took place in Hamburg, Germany, as usual from December 27 to 30 2024.

Like yesteryear, Matrix Community Events organised the matrix community assembly there - a workshop area that sometimes doubles as a fair booth.

We offered some "office hours" for people but many also dropped by around the clock with their questions, to get some of the official Matrix.org hoodies or T-shirts we could offer thanks to and on behalf of the Matrix.org Foundation, or simply to celebrate and socialise.

We had a small assembly project driven by Nico who brought the materials to build an LED cube which once set up visitors could control through Matrix chat commands. In addition, as a small game, we hid small plastic rabbits around the whole congress center, which attendees could find and bring back to us to receive our wonderful assembly badge designed by Nadine.

We also offered 2 workshops, one being another instance of Tune Your Chat, a project to collect all the neat small tips and tricks to tweak your Matrix experience, and for the other we were joined for a discussion by the creators of the "Standardised Messenger Audit – Frontend" catalog from the office of the German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, published earlier this year. And of course we also took another group photo!
