# 2017-04-02 17:37:36.840266 UTC (+0000) Bitreichcon 2017 Bitreichcon 2017 is over and was successfull. There have been five phys‐ ical attendees and four over the streaming setup. A new way of confer‐ encing was tried out, where through compressing the information into its most useful form was well received by all listeners. All recordings and slides are online [0]. For viewing the md files in their original form, use catpoint [1]. You can hear Christoph talking about the Bitreich manifest and why we are doing all of this here. Next up is Manu talking about his thoughts on efficient wikipedia information retrievel. Christoph then shows the gopher lawn project, hosted here at bitreich.org. The end is a format for future bitreich conferences of some panel discussion, where everyone (from IRC too!) can point out his/her opinion to form a consent in the community. We will experiment further with more formats. The reason for this late posting is the conference photo. We could first release it on 1st of April [2]. All attendees are having much fun. Bitreichcon 2018 will happen in Rodez, South France, in the middle of the end of next year [3]. Have fun!
