Yesterday this year’s MetaRheinMainChaosDays have come to an end. We had the cooles MRMCD of
all time and are glad that such many sport fans came despite the unwelcoming weather.
We are especially thankful for all our speakers (without you, it would be a pretty boring
conference), all our angels (without you, there is no way we could do this), the VOC (without
you, we ourselves could never watch all the great talks) and of course the h_da staff for
welcoming us at their campus again.
All recorded talks are available on media.ccc.de.
Please be aware of the feedback option in our Schedule as
we would love to hear from you!
After three days of high-performance conference sport, we and you have earned a break. But
of course we promise: See you next year!

Dear sports fan,
you can now visit the first version of this year’s conference schedule!
There are still some gaps left due to speakers that have not yet finally confirmed their
availability at the given time, but the schedule will fill up completely during the next
few days.
The presale period is now over, but there will be more than enough tickets for sale on site.
Looking forward to see you in September,
the MRMCD15 competition board

Dear sports fan,
traditionally, the MRMCD provide you with wonderful conference cups for your
daily coffee as well as cool gadgets and an all-day breakfast, but also with
a comprehensive set of workshops, talks and (this year) competitions.
In order to plan all these things, we need your help. If you’d like to give
a talk or organize a workshop, please tell us via the frab system
now!
The submissions deadline is the 9th of August. We will inform all speakers
whether their talk is being accepted by 11th of August and we will publish
the program soon after.
If you do not have a ticket yet, you can buy one
until 16th of August. There will be a ticket sale on site, but there are probably
no awesome cups or gadgets at the door, as well as no t-shirts or hoodies.
We kindly ask you to make use of our ticket presale, as we need that data (and money)
to plan properly for the event. The graph below shows why: We need to spend most of
the money before the event, but we get most of the incoming money during the event.
This makes our work harder – and it can be solved by you buying your ticket in
advance.
Looking forward to see you in September,
the MRMCD15 competition board

Dear sports fan,
as always, there are wonderful t-shirts and hoodies with the current MRMCD theme,
only available in presale.
For your information, we have created a small preview of the merchandise:
The shirts and hoodies are being printed by 7 Siebe,
a charity project for the reintegration of former drug addicts. We love to support this
goal by choosing them as our merchandise vendor, and even if it comes us slightly more
expensive than the last years, it stays the same price for you: shirts cost 15 € and hoodies
35.
As last year, we use fair-trade textiles by Staley&Stella. To be exact, we will have
‘Stanley Leads’ and ‘Stella Wants’
for the t-shirts, and ‘Stanley Knows’
and ‘Stella Says’ for the hoodies.
The men versions are available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL, the women ones from XXS to XXL.

Dear sports fan,
you can now preorder your MRMCD15 ticket at
mrmcd.net/presale
There will be a ticket sale on site, but we kindly ask you to make use
of the preorder system to help us with planning the conference.
There will be no t-shirt sale on site.

Dear sports fan,
we are as busy as a bee planning this year’s MRMCD and we want to give you some information
from the competition board.
Presale
Our chief technology officer is currently making the final adjustements to the new and nifty
presale system “pretix”. Soon you will be able to preorder your
tickets and textiles!
Textiles
In the previous years, we provided you with fair trade eco fashion. This year we go the
extra mile and gave the printing to a social company, which is supporting the reintegration
of former drug addicts into society.
Schedule
Several weeks before the CFP deadline we already have lots of great submissions for talks.
Our final decision who is admitted to our famous speaker’s lounge will be pusblished shortly
after the end of the submission period. However, we still invite you to submit your ideas for
talks and workshops. You can submit, manage and change your submission using the adorable
frab.
If you have any problems or question, don’t hesitate to send us a short e-mail, we will do
our best to help you.
Competitions
Adhering to this year’s motto, we want to stage a couple of competitions. If you have an
idea for a competition you can submit it using the frab, we will provide adequate prizes
for the winners. Extreme cactus dehydration? Smartphone throwing? Keyboard fencing? A
bug hunt in the cloud? You decide!
MRMCD triathlon
Who would have known that the crazy idea of a triathlon team would take off? Even we were
sceptical, but now we only have two berths left. If you want to take one of those, drop us
a short e-mail, we will provide additional information.
For details about the triathlon see www.10-freunde.de.

For this years MRMCD we’re looking again for interesting contributions. Topics usually present
are for example Open Source projects, Cryptography, Social Networks, embedded systems,
programming languages, privacy and anonymity and the resulting social questions.
According to this year’s topic we’re especially looking forward for topics on the interface of body
and technology, let it be research or development under the keyword Self Quantization or
interesting technologies from the field of sports and competition.
This list is in no way complete though. The MRMCD is known for a broad and interesting spectrum
of subjects. Our visitors are always interested in learning and mastering seemingly off topic knowledge.
According to this years theme we plan to have competitions for the guests of the conference.
We’re looking forward to your e-mail if you have ideas about the competitions or maybe even are
interested in organising one.
We are looking forward to meeting you in September,
Mit sportlichen Grüßen,
die Wettkampfleitung der MRMCD15
