On April 11th at 18:00 GMT we will have a very special guest. John Draper, widely known as Captain Crunch, is going to join us for a leisurely chat.
Being one of the original hackers he figured out how to control the US phone system without paying for long distance calls. He worked with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs when they just had moved Apple out of their garage. John is a strong advocate of personal freedom and activist against government control, surveillance, and intrusion into privacy.
Come join us on April 11th 2026, 18:00 GMT. The fireside chat will start with John talking with an old friend about the “good olde days” and later we will open the stage for some questions by the audience.
The fireside chat will take place on the Piratensommer Big Blue Button server and it will be recorded. If you don’t want to appear in the recording just keep your camera and mike off. Questions will also be possible via the text chat, which will not be part of the recording.
