"The GeekFest Berlin is hosted by Hacker legend John “Captain Crunch” Draper and Oliver Soehlke from myoldmac.net. The event brings together the founders of the early personal computer era and the Hacker scene and there will be a panel of memories from this era. All of the guests on the different panels will be connected via video chat. At the end of each panel there will be a Q&A session where questions from the audience are answered – directly from the source. We will have an Audio and Video stream of the whole event. All panels will be held in English language." - GeekFest Berlin 2016

Thanks to GeekFest Berlin’s 2016 event, we’ve created a series of videos from Liza Loop’s presentation that touch on various aspects of the topic and our organization’s history within it. We pass this information along as possible aids to include in your communications and as an introduction to our mission and current activities.
