Call for interpreters: translate 36C3!
We interpret ALL talks in the five main halls live and in real-time. German talks are interpreted into English, and vice versa. Our work is transmitted live in the lecture halls, streamed to the Internet, and recordings are published on CCC sites and YouTube. A second translation channel will be operated in the same way.

An Appeal From The OSI President
I want to write to you a triumphant message about what a wonderful year it has been for open source and the Open Source Initiative (OSI). There has been a lot to celebrate as an organization and a community. More than 600 of you are now members of the OSI, making us stronger than we’ve ever been before. We have increased staffing capacity, which makes it so we can do more of the necessary work to fulfill our mission. Open source adoption is on the rise and people continue to do amazing, innovative things with open source technology.
However, I would be doing us all a disservice to pretend that there have not been incredible challenges for the OSI and open source as a whole. We’ve been asked tough questions about what open source is, its continued value, and how it will need to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of technology. It is necessary to acknowledge everything that has happened over the past year in order for us to move forward and create a bright future for open source.
At the beginning of our planning year, we set a goal of increasing the number and diversity of OSI Affiliate organizations. Now we have over 75 Affiliate members, with significantly increased representation from across Asia. Affiliate members are now welcome to join the Board and each other on regular calls to talk about the work of the OSI, thanks to the efforts of the Membership Committee.

Windows Store Status
Kate is now in the Windows Store since September, see our initial post.
It was the second application published there with the KDE e.V. account.
One might argue that it is no good thing for an open-source project to promote the use of closed-source operating systems like Windows.
On the other side, a lot of people are stuck on Windows and I think it is a good thing to provide them with open-source software. If people start to use more and more open-source user-space software, they will perhaps be able to switch over to some fully open-source operating system in the future.

C3GSM wants you to test yesterday’s future, today!
Like previous years at 36C3 the C3GSM team will run a local cellular network for mobile phones, alongside the POC’s DECT system and the NOC’s IPv4 and IPv6 systems. As core network for our cellular network we use the open source projects osmocom (for 2G/3G) and NextEPC (for 4G). There will only be a very limited number of SIM cards available to buy. However, cards from previous CCC events can be used, so please don’t forget to bring them.
As always, we had to ask commercial operators for permission to use some of their parts of the spectrum, which unfortunately has been completely sold to very few commercial operators. We got permission to use 5 MHz of the 850 MHz band, which we will use for 2G/3G and 10 MHz on the 2600 MHz band for 4G (LTE).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
