Out of the names I recognise, I notice Mitch Altman and Nick Farr, both of whom would usually be attending the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin. The Chaos Communication Congress is this year in Hamburg. I'd be really surprised to not see either of them at the CCC, so I'm going to guess: that's some hardcore train-hopping.<p>I'm happy there is something planned in Berlin for this time... it'd feel weird if there wasn't some hacker happening in Berlin between Christmas and Sylvester (NYE).
