7The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) is taking part in "Motodrone", the European event for scientists, researchers and developers in the field of open source aerial drones in Finowfurt near Berlin on September 20th, 2008. Interesting talks, discussions, workshops and flight shows are planned for the event.

11Robots and autonomous aerial vehicles are becoming more and more
12sophisticated and are meanwhile accessible to hobbyists as well. Will
13humanity be slave to thinking machines, our lives be shadowed by
14independently acting monitoring and sentinel robots in the future? What
15is happening today already and where is the development headed? Is it
16ethical for hackers to contribute to the development of these
17technologies? Which rules will be necessary if everyone can build or
18purchase a drone and aviate it for peanuts?
19
20Which reasonable usage scenarios can we imagine for autonomous flying
21apparatus outside of the specific scopes of homeland security and
22military applications? Is the dream of flying turning into a bad trip
23for everyone? As part of our lecture program at the Motodrone on
24September 20th, 2008, at the Finowfurt airfield, we will debate and
25practically put these and other questions to test.

27Motodrone is the European event for scientists, researchers and
28developers in the field of open source aerial drones. Next to a
29comprehensive lecture program, workshops, air shows and competitions are
30offered. The detailed program schedule will be published at
31[](http://motodrone.org/) within the next couple of days.
