21:00-... Hacking on my Bash JVM
Context: https://donotsta.re/notice/AvG1bfYCnkY9EoWRKS
The plan for the session is to steal a beamer, and hack on my JVM until we get bored (or run out of mate). Come to hang out, and see how we bring my silly hack from Hello World to (hopefully) graphical applications!
Session will start at the SERVFAIL table in the south (left) hall (under our flag). Please bring a beamer if you have one ;)
JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is the part of the Java stack which runs the compiled bytecode; Most of the time, on PCs this is done by OpenJDK, but nothing prohibits us from making our own runtime - the docs are open, and quite detailed.

Day 2 (Friday, 20.06.2025)
Wiese (Outside)
14:00 - 16:00 Platonic friend finding
Name/Contact: dysphoricUnicorn (@dysphoricUnicorn@fedi.dysphoric.space) DECT 7654
Meeting: Playground north of ZKM. Here (OSM URL)
Description: It seems like it can be really easy to find people to make out with (or more) at chaos events, and that's great. However, if you are aro/ace, happily monogamous, or simply don't have the capacity for this kind of connection, meeting people can be a bit more challenging. This session aims to change that by providing a space to meet where the stated purpose is to find friends with purely platonic benefits.
Where: We meet up at the entrance near the tent that where the entry bands are given out, next to the stairs to the parking lot, and then find a place that can accommodate whatever group size we end up being. If we end up being too many people for the space near the entrance, we will go to the stairs at the grass, which are still visible from the entrance.
16:00 - 18:00 Polyamores Speed Dating/Friending
Name/Contact: Ignis (bei Bedarf mach ich nen zweiten Termin)
Description: Neue Menschen Kennenlernen! :) Wir setzen uns als Reihe auf die Wiese und wechseln nach ein paar Minuten die Partner:in. Es gibt eine gemeinsame Einführung und Fragen als Gesprächshilfen.

Treffpunkt: 49°00'09.5"N 8°23'03.9"E (Nimm eine Picknickdecke mit. Ich habe eine poly Flagge als Erkennungszeichen.)

16:00 - 17:00: OpenMates Meetup - lets talk safety & privacy
> *For devs who want to go beyond just complaining about how bad AI tools from VC funded startups and big tech are, but actually work on better open source alternatives. Just complaining won’t improve anything, if we don’t point towards better alternatives.*
The second ever meetup about OpenMates - the open source digital team mates software. This time focused on talking about best practices for minimizing hallucinations in LLM powered software, anonymization & sensitive data handling, encryption, preventing malicious attacks and when time allows also other privacy & security related topics. For software devs with AI & LLM and / or IT security experience.
Meeting point: Desk in the cafe area next to the Medien Theater, near the exhibition. Look for a red bottle on the desk.
Organized by Kitty (guy with dress/onesie with cat ears).
17:00-18:30 Exchange: Non-visible discriminations with regards to Neurodiversity. (cancelled/moved)
Cancelled by the host for this date. Maybe new date: Sunday, 12:00.
This is time for an exchange about what makes it difficult for people with different neurotypes to participate or engage in chaos events and chaos spaces, with a focus on structural/ systemic issues (i.e. reoccuring difficulties related to how things are (not) designed or tend to evolve; not one-time cases).
Also, suggestions how chaos events and spaces can be made more inclusive with this regards should be collected and to be shared to the community.
"Neurodiversity" just covers the broad spectrum of how the brain functions which is not the norm. So it is a very broad term, covering e.g. Autism, ADHD, high sensitivity, dyslexic, high and low intelligence, ... (And, yes, Chaos events typically have a high degree of people with some neurodivergence traits, when the "norm" society is used as reference. So what is "neurodivergent" in chaos context can be a question of it's own.)

17:30-18:30 DNS Workshop
Project SERVFAIL team is organizing a DNS workshop at our community table. We'll answer all of your questions about DNS, talk about the protocol (and possibly show some of our project backend stack).

20:00 (open end): Pen und Paper Runde
For people who want to play or try out some pen and paper game. Or who want to hold such a game. You don't need any prior experience to participate.

Day 3 (Saturday, 21.06.2025)
ZKM 1st floor (seating area next to the gangway to "ZKM Kubus")
14:00-16:00: Dancy playfight -- physical explorations between roughhousing and contact improvisation.
Location change!
- Meeting point: ZKM, 1st floor, seating area besides the gangway to the "ZKM Kubus". ("c3kidspace".) Here (OSM link), 1st floor
- Due to the location change I will be at the entrance besides the ticket scanning tent at 14:00 to collect people there, and then go to the new location, so arrive a bit later.
By: dreieck, 3134, gpn (at( eidreck (dot) de\\
I invite for some playful movement and interaction -- with your physicality, and as soft or strong as you wish and is constented with the other(s).
From my background in Contact Improvisation, the joy of beeing moved by the physical impulses of the others, and experiences in an exploration based approach to playfight ("Spielerisches Raufen/ balgen/ kabbeln", roughhousing/ playful wrestling in consented friendly way), I want to create an hour where we can go into physicality with each other where the following qualities can arise:
- Strength and weakness,
- couriosity, exploration,
- somatic perception,
- play :-),
- cooperation and competition,
- ...
I start with a short introduction and some games to get into perceptive physicality, and then the format is that people can play with each other while others hold the space and enjoy watching (also for safety). The structure will include a format that people who interact consent before in which way/ on which "level" they want to play.
I explicitly want to focus on the "in-between" between dance and playfight: Having playfight, but with a "dancy attitude"/ dance in contact, but which can get rough, but it can get to both edges.
In the end we will have a sharing round with optional cuddle pile.
Please bring if you have clothing that does not obstruct your movement (sports pants are fine, pyjamas too. If you don't have, your normal throusers also work.).
Lay down any earrings, uncovered larger piercings, or other things that might entangle in other persons hair or so (you can do it just at the spot), or secure them with tape (safety!).
We put off our shoes, too.
This is not an erotic space. Please do not come with the desires for erotics or to find sex partners. Also, we all stays clothed.
Content Warning: For those participating, spontaneous close body contact is next to unavoidable.
Early drop out possible. Later drop-in _not_ possible, please be there latest 10 minutes after the scheduled start.

Was habt ihr erlebt? Wie seid ihr damit umgegangen? Und wie könnten wir damit umgehen oder es vielleicht sogar verhindern?
Kein Vortrag, keine fertigen Antworten – nur ein solidarisches Gespräch unter Menschen mit ähnlichen Fragen.

ZKM 1st floor (seating area next to the gangway to "ZKM Kubus")
12:00-13:30 Exchange & possible actions: Invisible discriminations with regards to Neurodiversity in chaos spaces. (cancelled)
Sorry, I had to cancel it for this event because I did not feel like right now to doing this session.
This is time for an exchange about what makes it difficult or especially energy consuming for people with different neurotypes to participate or engage equally in chaos events and chaos spaces, with a focus on structural/ systemic issues (i.e. reoccuring difficulties related to how things are (not) designed or tend to evolve; not one-time cases).
Results and suggestions how chaos events and spaces can be made more inclusive with this regards should be collected and shared to the community.
"Neurodiversity" just covers the broad spectrum of how the brain functions which is not the norm. So it is a very broad term, covering e.g. Autism, ADHD, high sensitivity, dyslexic, high and low intelligence, ... (And, yes, Chaos events typically have a high degree of people with some neurodivergence traits, when the "norm" society is used as reference. So what is "neurodivergent" in chaos context can be a question of it's own.)
I intentionally did not give examples of difficulties to not pre-prime the session.
by: dreieck (3134, gpn (at( eidreck )dot( de). (I am still not completely sure if I do the session, since for me personally the GPN has less systemic issues than 38C3. If you are interested, leave me a message, so that I can assess the interest. If I cancel it I plan do so until 10:00 and notify here.)
