The /ETC started with a group of women who felt the need to learn technical skills in our own spaces, unimpeded by the typical competitiveness of male geeks, trying things out and working through all our questions together with an open mind.
In 2002 the first /etc happened in Pula, Croatia. Since then, it took place 16 times, each time organised by a different, local group.
In this remembering we want to share some of the fun stories and pass on some of the experiences we made on the way. Please join us if you have stories from past /etc's to share but also if this is your first one!

What to bring to your session? –Nothing, except maybe any paraphernalia from former Eclectic Tech Carnivals
I've been part of Berlin's digital rights community for 20+ years, used to work in an international NGO that focused on digital security for some years, and then as a policy advisor on the Snowden revelations and then more generally on digital policy in the German parliament for the past ten years. I'm currently freelancing.
As an activist I co-founded the German Indymedia website in 2001 and a project to increase diversity at tech and other conferences. The first /etc I participated in was the one in Linz in 2007 (I think).
