    I have always wanted to attend CCC in person, but these dates for the main conference only work if you are 20 and single...

      21th/24th -> celebrating with family the winter solstice 25th -> visiting the extended family 26th -> visiting friends

      27-30th -> congress \o/

      31th -> celebrating a new year either close to the congress or with family again

      Works very well for very long time. Plenty of families with kids on the congress too and you always have holidays at that time.

      Im not single and i'm not 20...

        That's already hectic and stressfull without the congress part, especially if any of the preparatinon for those meetups falls to you.

          I know people who are vacationing who have more stressful schedules.

            Oh yeah? And I know people who do extreme sports with an extreme schedule whilst simultaneously breastfeeding. None of this invalidates the people who find any of the above to be too stressful.

            I’ve been to congress, will probably attend more too. Some people find the schedule to suck, some don’t. I do not believe it will ever change. I think it is reasonable to find the schedule hectic. My pet theory that this one soft way of keeping the congress more about the chaos communications club rather than it becoming a tech/hacker conference with a strictly international audience. And that is fine.
