Mark O'Neil says,
Last year BoingBoing posted some info about the "Chaos Congress" here in Berlin, Germany and I haven't noticed any mention of it this year. This "hacker" convention is excellent and I've really been looking forward to it all year. I went last year because of a link suggested on Boing Boing and I loved it. Many of the talks are in English and the people there are super. I highly recommend stopping in even if someone is simply passing through the city. There is definitely no need to be a hacker and any technology interested person will find the speakers interesting. There is some info and a few links to help travelers find cheap places to stay in Berlin on the congress' web site.
Link to event info, 27-30 December 2006.
