Let’s start with the good news! The family name of the current pandemic virus (Coronaviridae) as well as the disease (COVID-19) caused by it both start with the letter „C“. This makes us happy.

What makes us sad is that, in order to slow down the transmission of the virus, we need to shut down most of station services. This means in detail:

• ALL EVENTS listed in the c-base calendar are CANCELLED until further notice.
• c-base is CLOSED until further notice
• please stay at home, use one of the methods mentioned below to stay in contact.

What virtual events and live-streams are happening?

Look at our list of virtual events and live-streams.

How do members stay in contact during the lock-down?

• IRC: We meet in channel #c-base on freenode hackint.net. You can use this web-chat to connect.

• Mailing lists: We have lots of mailing lists. The most important list is probably the „intern“ list for internal discussions among members.

• Video chat: We provide a c-base Jitsi Meet server.
  • We meet in this channel https://jitsi.c-base.org/mainhall
  • The website works best on desktops.
  • For Android smartphones there is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jitsi.meet

• Audio chat: In addition to Jisti Meet, we now also have a Mumble server:
  • mumble.c-base.org
  • There is also a web-client, so you don’t need to install anything:
  • Leave the password field empty when connecting. Mumble is not connected to c-base user accounts.
  • You can use the desktop client software:
