The 24th Gulaschprogrammiernacht (GPN) is themed: Gulasch at the Scale of Chaos

This year, participants will step into the shoes of stakeholders at GPN24.de, the mega-corporation that can do anything. They are invited to immerse themselves in hyper-capitalism, navigate the flood of information, and question it critically. In a world of information overload, GPN24 offers the logical synthesis: everything about everything, round the clock. To this end, the right interface has been optimised for every need:

  • Hungry? Gulasch24 (Here I gulna everything!),
  • Thirsty? Tschunk24 (Here I mix everything!).
  • Knowledge? Gulaschprogrammiernews24 (Here I learn everything!).
  • Despair? Merch-ist-leer24 (Here you won’t find everything!).

The Gulaschprogrammiernacht is a 4-day conference organised once a year by Entropia e.V. (CCC Karlsruhe). The name is to be taken literally, as the obligatory (vegan) goulash is served every year to feed all hackers and guests.

Admission to the event is free; you can still get yourself added to the waiting list or purchase day passes on the days of the event. Further information and the programme can be found here.
