+title: 36th Chaos Communication Congress to take place in Leipzig

+
+For the 36th time the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) will host the Chaos Communication Congress between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
+
+<!-- TEASER_END -->
+
+The 36C3, which will take place at [Messe
+Leipzig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig_Trade_Fair), is the
+largest hacker conference in Europe and – like all CCC events – will be
+organised and executed entirely by volunteers. As last year, around
+17,000 participants are expected, including more than 2,000 volunteers.
+
+## Call for Participation
+
+We would like to fill our approximately 120 curated talk slots with
+high-quality content and therefore today solicit your submissions with
+our [Call for
+Participation](https://content.events.ccc.de/cfp/36c3/index.en.html).
+
+On four days, in addition to the curated talks in five large halls,
+there will be a widely varied program of self-organised workshops at the
+stages of our assemblies distributed throughout the event venue. There
+will also be lots of art & beauty with exhibitions, light installations,
+bars and parties.
+
+We want to stress the unusually short submission deadline this year: 26
+October 2019. No excuses, please.
+
+## Call for Angels
+
+In order to build all that – and to tear it down again – we will once
+again need our legendary and untiring Angel power. Angels are our
+volunteer helpers, they are the true backbone of any CCC event. We call
+upon all of you to help at Congress and become part of the event. If
+possible, do plan a longer stay in Leipzig, until January 5th, in order
+to help during teardown.
+
+## Call for Assemblies
+
+During the last two years in Leipzig we learned many lessons and want to
+apply as much of the knowledge as possible. That’s why we intend to
+change as little about the Assemblies process as possible: in order to
+consolidate and exchange the knowledge and experiences we gained.
+
+If you have organised an Assembly last year, please expect the same
+area, requirements, and infrastructure as last year. Even supposedly
+small changes may lead to large planning overhead and excess preparation
+time which we’re not going to have this year.
+
+## 36C3: Resource exhaustion
+
+Resource exhaustion is a [type of attack on computer
+systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_exhaustion_attack) that
+is considered rather crude and destructive. Even with two large scale
+events this year we don’t want to execute such an attack against
+ourselves. Instead we want to use our own resources in a measured,
+effective way:
+
+Those who do know the extend of their own resources, can set [limits, to
+prevent their
+exhaustion](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/limits.conf.5.html).
+
+On an international stage this wisdom appears to be absent. Resources
+are exhausted knowingly and willfully, instead of limiting their use.
+Two years ago, during 34C3, we [dedicated a day of our schedule to the
+topic of global climate
+change](https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2017/Fahrplan/schedule/3.html),
+and in the year following that we joined forces with other civil rights
+and environment protection NGOs for the [Bits & Bäume
+conference](https://bits-und-baeume.org/info/de).
+
+It is in this tradition and with this spirit that we see this year's
+congress's motto **36C3: Resource Exhaustion**.****
