Overview - Content für die Startseite

Welcome to the Chaos Singularity 2006 event site!

Chaos Singularity (Cosin) is a chaotic event organised by chaostreffs of Switzerland, SheGeeks and trash.net. We intend the hold lectures, operate a network and have a lot of fun. Lectures are going to be in german and english (probably mostly german). The event will take place from friday, 7.7.2006 until sunday, 9.7.2006 at the Cultural Center of Bremgarten (KuZeB) in Aargau/Switzerland.

For more information, please browse around this website and take a look at our wiki. If you have questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to write to our mailinglist.

Topics

For lectures, workshop and projects, all kind of content is welcome. The following is just an incomplete list of suggestions

  • technical projects are always welcome
  • with our governments intentions for surveillance getting crazier every day, some policical projects are desperately needed
  • a combination of these two - if you know a way to circumvent surveillance, please start a workshop
  • we all like to hang out and have fun, so if you want to organize some boardgames or start a hacker quiz, feel free

Name of the event

A singularity is a particular point in time and/or space, where everything concentrates (eg a black hole - a mass singularity). Chaos Singularity could therefore be a concentration of all chaos. A singularity can be something strange, unusual, peculiar or unique. Furthermore, singularity is the point in time, where the exponential growth in technology becomes infinite. At this point, all development happens extremely fast and almost completely chaotic, making any predictions about the following time impossible.

Cosin is a trigonometric function. It does not have any singularities. The value of cosin(2006) is approximately -0.093.

Participation - Content

The success of the event depends on your active participation. If you like to help, you have numerous possibilities:

  • Hold a lecture or start a workshop (Call for Papers can be found here)
  • Start a project at Cosin. Weather technical, political or just fun project, all projects are welcome.
  • Help us with administrative stuff, in the kitchen at the event or with anything else; add your name on the organisation page

Entrance, Eating and Sleeping - Content

We ask for CHF 10 (≅6.4 €) from each participant. We hope this small amount is enough to cover our costs, but we're grateful if you're willing to pay a little more. If we get more money than we spend, it will go to the people who operate KuZeB, to help cover their costs for electricity, rent, etc.

Eating

If you want to eat at KuZeB, each dinner will cost you CHF 5. Please add you name on this page. Only vegetarian meals will be available.

Sleeping

If you need a place for sleeping, please add your name on this page. If it's ok for you to just sleep on the floor, you don't need to register. Don't forget your sleeping bag.
