This Christmas saw the largest group ever travel to the Chaos Communication Congress, 39C3. A four-day conference that brings hackers and makers from across the world to Hamburg. https://events.ccc.de/congress/2025/infos/index.html
A collective of hackers and makers with ties to Ireland formed the “Irish Embassy” Assembly. A self-organised space where shared interests or projects gather to collaborate, learn, and share. Lots of our members joined in with the fun of this space to celebrate Type G power sockets and give out Tog stamps to hackerspace passports.
Our own Jeffrey gave lots of workshops in the Hardware Hacking Area this year, and fun with TOTA – Toilets on the Air, but that’s for another blog post.
Looking ahead, the Irish Embassy will be reuniting at Electromagnetic Field this July. You can stay updated on their plans and activities through their Mastodon account: https://chaos.social/@irishembassy.
