It looks like the content committee for the 22C3 decided, that it wants to talk about the Fnord News Show again. So please do not jump to conclusions. The people there are doing a marvelous job, writing the Call for Papers, reviewing hundreds of submissions, gathering reviews for talks, evaluating feed back from previous talks, writing conference planing software (the really cool Pentabarf , you should take a look at it) and much much more. In the last two years the content planing for the congress has taken a huge jump forward, from the closed-shop principle of the years before to a more and more working process with lots of people participating. So please do not bomb them with mails, I think things will work out. I hope I can somehow make some time to participate more, this weekend it was simply not possible.
