Monero at the 35C3 – 35th Chaos Communication Congress, 27.-30.December 2018, Leipzig, Germany

As in 2017 there will also a Monero Assembly during 35C3 in Leipzig, Germany (here is a bit of historic background).

tldr; go to the taiga workgroup wiki on taiga.getmonero.org to see the current status

The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) is the largest (and oldest) hacker association in europe (see Wikipedia). Originating from Germany, it has spread over Europe and organizes numerous events. Most important the annual Chaos Communication Congress between christmas and new years eve. It is considered one of the largest (over 13,000 attendees) events of this kind, alongside the DEF CON in Las Vegas. Besides the top-class Main Talks, which all get recorded there are other formats such as assemblies and so called “self organized sessions”.

In 2016 the RIAT Crypto Assembly (see 33C3 Wiki and cache) featured crypto-based workshops with Monero, and Tomu 2FA devices and was the initial (mini) implementation of Monero at C3. IN 2016 the Bitcoin Assembly was the only other “Cryptocurrency” Assembly. In 2017 we had a combined RIAT/Monero/Bitcoin “Village”. The Monero December meetup in Vienna served as a real-life meeting in order to prepare the Monero Assembly. Communication and organisation was via hackpad and reddit.

This year we are using the taiga wiki on taiga.getmonero.org to and the IRC channel #monero-ccc to coordinate. The next IRC meeting of the workgroup will be on 2018-11-07 17:00 UTC on "monero-community".
