December 27th–30th 2019, Leipzig

The 36th Chaos Communication Congress (36C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

* Discussion: https://chat.fixme.ch/fixme/channels/20_36c3

== Token wait list ==

In order for every interested participants to the 36C3 to get its ticket, you agree to pay your ticket as soon as it was ordered (or have someone else do it for you). The goal is to avoid the token being stuck waiting for payment for a long time. Thanks!

* More details on how it actually works: https://tickets.events.ccc.de/36c3/docs/
* FIXME Received 3 vouchers on the 19th of October
* Take your ticket and give the new voucher when you receive it to the next person in the list
* '''Please use Credit card payment if possible, even if it leads to higher costs. Bank transfer takes time and block the token, all participant may not get ticket before sale period expire (as seen with Camp last summer)'''

== Goals ==
* Create new, beautiful and amazing things in a single night
* Contribute to open source projects
* Learn new technologies on the fly
* Work in a group of minimum two people

== Howto ==
* Everyone can propose a project. The presentation of the different projects proposition will be around 20. Then we all gather to choose a projet we want to work on and we split the work. We usually work on it in 2 hours sprint. At the end of those sprint we make a mini summary of our issue so that we can help each other and learn from the more experienced.
* The result will be presented around 6.00 on the following day. They are always pushed on github the week after the hackaton.
* [[Projects_Ideas]]

== Dates ==
* The first coding night was on the 10.02.2012, the Hackerspace will be open from 18h. The wiki page for this night is [[codingNight1|here]].
* The second coding night was on the 16.03.2012. The Hackerspace will be open from 17h. The corresponding wiki page is [[codingNight2|here]]

Min Lin from [http://xinchejian.com XinCheJian] has offered to help order and route parts from TaoBao to western hackerspaces.

These orders will have to be in high volume for low price parts: think 1000+ LEDs, transistors; 100+ cables, etc.

== How to find stuff on TaoBao ==

TaoBao is the Chinese equivalent of eBay. Like on eBay, or maybe even more so, there are scam offers. There are several ways to reduce the risk of being scammed; following the procedure below should give you a good start.

# go to http://translate.google.com and translate the term you're searching for into Simplified Chinese. Copy the result. Often there are several results; you might have to repeat the following steps for them.
# paste the result into http://taobao.com and hit search.
# use the google translate extension for chrome to translate the result page.
# possibly limit your results by using the categories block on the top of the results.
# observe your results - do they match what you were looking for? You might have to use different search terms to broaden or limit your search. Look at the Chinese description text of results that match your objective to refine your search terms. Repeat searching until you have a set of results you are comfortable with. You will have hundreds, usually.
# Do '''not''' sort by price. That will sort the scammers up top. Try sorting by "Sales": this will sort items to the top that have been bought recently by other people as well, thereby leveraging the swarm intelligence of buyers.
# depending on the item you're searching for (especially for more expensive things), you might want to filter results for 7-day-return policy. Vendors that offer 7 day return will have to deposit money with TaoBao, so chances they are scammers are lower. Some items will be sold on Tmall, which is the professional outlet of TaoBao. Vendors there might be even more credible.
# Use common sense when selecting items: stuff in China is way cheaper (50% - 10% of western prices is not uncommon), but if there is one offer that is unreasonably cheaper than the rest, be aware that it might be a scam.
# Check if the seller might be credible. Be aware that any of the following properties ''might'' have been faked. Use enhanced common sense.
## Look at the item description (electronic components rarely have a description though).
## Read the Evaluations for the item/seller. Look at the time line of the evaluations.
## Look at the average performance rating of the seller. They are rated on a scale from 1 to 5 for accuracy, service and speed. 5 is best. TaoBao also compares the vendor to his peers (selling similar items) and shows the result in a percentile. RED in China means GOOD. So, a vendor with 4.9 and 40% RED on service is very good. 4.3 with GREEN 10% means not really good.
## Look at the vendor's credit (as a seller, not as a buyer!): more hearts is good, more diamonds better, more crowns even better, etc.
# win! note down multiple items, because sometimes the vendor might not have the item in stock. If you like a vendor or know that the vendor is credible (we'll publish a list below), you can browse their store to find items so that you can combine shipping etc.

== Collect! ==

Let's slowly collect what we think would be useful to have:

* breadboards (small ones as well? I would say a big one and 3 little)
** http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13777988216 (little)
* aligator cables (we have enough of those imho)
* banana cables
** http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=15046648196 (plugs only)

** 27c801, 27c080, 27c160, 27c320 (en quantité, si moins de 2-3chf pièce) (et quelques 27c1024)

== old commands ==
* Banana plugs

== Important note ==
If you're only buying a handful of parts from China, make sure that you consider the following things before you commit:
# These items could be cheaper shipped from eBay or other similar websites
# Even if they aren't cheaper, don't forget that you will have to pay extra shipping fees and taxes to get these items to Switzerland
# If something breaks, doesn't arrive, etc, you have no one to go to, and even I don't know how refunds and stuff work on TaoBao

You can try using AliExpress to find certain things cheaply. You can also get there that are obviously fake (Such as a Class 10 16 gb MicroSD card for 10$), and get all of your money back if you can proove that the card is actually Class 4 or something - either way, you get a free MicroSD card!
