I feel like it may have been a better idea to move the congress to some time in the summer, because public health restrictions in the winter don't seem to go away.

We've had vaccines since early 2021, and the 2021 winter still had restrictions, now we're two years down the road and looking at another wave and another restricted winter.

I don't see how it's going to be substantially different for the 2023 winter unless there's some new revolutionary thing (e.g. vaccine that prevents infection and spread) or COVID kills itself through evolution.

You mean past summer? Because next summer there's already the camp :)

> COVID kills itself through evolution

Doesn‘t evolution work the other way around?

What is 37c3? I have only figured up that c3 is "Chaos Communication Congress".

37C3 is its 37th edition, which is now going to take place in a later year.

Do you think the COVID situation will be any different in 2023?

It’s a yearly computer security conference, similar to Defcon and Blackhat.

37 means it would have been the 37th running of the conference.

Summer is not a good time for a Congress, for large event venues like congress centers tend to be fully booked by then. Which leaves camps - but not everyone loves the idea of camping, and then you got the weather gods to sacrifice to (I vividly remember the thunderstorm evacuation...).

Given that virtually every other country in the world seems to have accepted that Covid will be here to stay, Germans will eventually have to take the plunge as well.
