Video summary
The closing summary of the DO_BYTE 2026 event highlights a successful gathering marked by high engagement and efficient operations in both catering and technical sectors. The organizers reported serving approximately sixty-five dinners last night, with breakfast items like tomato butter and fruit being fully consumed, though vegetables remained partially uneaten due to lower popularity. In terms of food volume, the team utilized two deep fryers to cook 225 kilograms of fries along with sausages and steak, while logistics data indicated a total intake of over three hundred forty-three kilograms of food and nearly eight hundred kilograms of beverages distributed across hundreds of portions. Additionally, attendees enjoyed around two hundred rolls and sandwiches before being encouraged to pack leftover breakfast items for their journey home, ensuring minimal waste as the event wound down.
Technically, the event was supported by robust infrastructure including internet connectivity via four uplinks, with peak Wi-Fi usage reaching 111 clients across various frequency bands, notably utilizing new WiFi 7 capabilities on the 6 GHz range. The video production team achieved remarkable speed in releasing content within an average of five hours and twenty-three minutes after recording sixteen talks and eleven workshops that filled the workshop rooms to capacity. Data transfer statistics showed a download volume of nearly two hundred gigabytes against one hundred ten uploaded, while field telephones were deployed for communication needs involving up to seven units and direct lines, supported by extensive cabling managed specifically thanks to Josef's switchboard setup.
The conclusion emphasizes deep gratitude toward the numerous individuals and organizations that made the event possible through lending equipment, providing venues, or assisting with spontaneous tasks ranging from cooking and cleaning to streaming support. Special recognition was given to partners such as ChaosWest TV for their video technology contributions, Theo Dortmund student council for inventory loans, and various sponsors who provided essential items like deep fryers, pavilions, and scanners. The organizers also extended thanks to the core team members who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, acknowledging that without their efforts in advance planning and on-site execution, none of these achievements would have been attainable. Finally, an invitation was issued for interested participants to join next year's organization by providing feedback on areas for improvement, as the current group plans to dismantle the venue starting at four o'clock while offering remaining food to those staying behind.

Um, so
the lounge probably went
well yesterday.
Munch, would you like some? Yes, we bought a deep
fryer and
with this fryer and the second one
we also got, we fried 225 kilos of
fries and an unknown
number of nuggets. There were also
sausages and steak. Uh, we don't have any
figures on that. Um, and we
handed out roughly 65 dinners last night. The
tomato butter for breakfast has been eaten. The apples and
bananas have also been eaten. Um, with the
vegetables, things weren't so good; vegetables weren't very
popular, so half of them are still
left. Um, and about 200
rolls and sandwiches were eaten. There
are still some good rolls left, and
I think some cold cuts too.
So before you go home, feel
free to stop by the breakfast area upstairs
and pack a lunch.
We also put some bags there
, so we don't have to
eat so much afterwards. Exactly
. In terms of content, we had 16 talks,
11 of which were recorded. I am
impressed by how many people
came here and gave a talk
. Thank you for that.
Likewise, 11 workshops. Thank you very much
for that as well. The workshop room was practically
full all day.
Uh, our awesome video team achieved the
fastest video release in 37 minutes,
and uh, exactly
average in 5 hours and 23 minutes. I think
the video team wants an update in 3 hours and
50 minutes.
Ah, hours and 50 minutes. Okay,
thanks for that.
[applause]
The internet. Yes, we had internet here too
, and usually a working connection. Uh,
exactly, we had a total of four
uplinks, because the more the
better. But we only
used about two or three of them. Um, and the third one was
also rather accidental, when the
charging cable had to be plugged in again at the bottom
. Oh well. Um, in total we
downloaded 198 GB and uploaded 110 GB
. Um,
most of you were
probably connected via Wi-Fi, but we
also had charging cables in the rear center at the
café. We had a total of 111 Weifi
clients at peak. So, in total, there are
probably more, but that was the
highest point with the simultaneously
connected ones. Um, that results in a Side
Health Score of 90. For further details,
please contact TP-Link Engineers.
Um, and um, exactly, we had
this newfangled WiFi 7 with 6 GHz
deployment here, and you can see in the graph on the
right that several people
were connected via 6 GHz. Otherwise,
most of our devices were operating in the 5
GHz range, but we also had quite a lot operating in the
2.4 GHz range. Um, yes,
exactly. Logistics. Um, Mark sent me some numbers
. We had 343 kg of
food in 383
portions. I'm not entirely clear on how
exactly that's divided, and um, 800 kg of
drinks for 49 crates. That's already
more than a ton for such
a small event. In addition, a
large amount of material
was transported. At this point, I'd like to
thank Mark for all the
shopping and transport.
[applause]
Exactly, we had field telephones. Um, that's what it looked like
. There are also figures to support this.
A flashing alarm cat for silent
rehoming. Five participants was the
maximum in a conference call, and in
total there were seven field telephones and
one direct line number. This is what it looks like
when 200 meters of
field cable have been unrolled, only to be
rolled up correctly afterwards.
Thanks to Josef for the
field telephone switchboard.
[applause]
Yes, then we'll continue
with printed materials. Um, I'm sure you've
all admired our amazing signs
. Um, somehow
they have to be produced.
We produced 82 different signs
, a total of 163
print jobs, mostly with several
signs. And that's why we
unfortunately need a new toner cartridge.
How many are you going to do? The system
asks about restarting Inkscape. Unfortunately, our
printing manager is currently busy,
so I can only deliver it to you later
tonight. Exactly
. Now let's move on to the MVP,
the most valuable Porter Split. Um,
[laughter]
exactly. Thanks to Wer for lending us
this air conditioner in the workshop room
[applause]
and thanks to Loop for the glue gun
in the attic.
[applause]
Exactly. Uh, now you can be
glad that we're not at the Oscars
and I'm not being ushered out. Therefore, there is
now a long list of names,
uh, that we would like to thank.
Firstly, um, to the teams who organized the
various tasks that were
pending for this event
. Astrid for the call
for participation, Basic Bear for
cooking,
Josef for the field telephones,
Kori for breakfast, Mark for logistics
and shopping, Michael did the
organization of the barbecue and fryer
. Niklas Technik and Lounge
Thunfisch and Loop
did the video technology for ChaosWest TV
with Chaoswest TV. Chodge raised awareness
and helped a lot in other ways.
Tunx organized the cleaning. Xoy helped
organize the lounge, and
Jannik organized the bar and awareness
. Thank you very much.
[applause]
But also thank you to the many people
and entities who have lent us things
. Uh, a special
thank you to the computer science student council at
Theo Dortmund, where we simply
packed up the entire student council. Um,
mainly the inventory; we took a few
people with us.
Thanks to Itates Media for the
radios, thanks to Midways for the
deep fryer, thanks to RKG Event. um, for
a good price on some of the lamps
here. Uh, thanks to Velo Kitchen for the
pavilion, grill, and a few
other things.
Wiring harnesses Wirzelt
harnesses and thanks to the
Association for the Promotion of the Conference of
German-Speaking Informatics Societies EV
for the spontaneous loan of
scanners and switches and whatever else
we might spontaneously need.
Thank you very much. [applause]
Exactly. And then also, uh, thanks
to Chaoswest TV and Chaoswest TV EV,
especially Thunfisch and Loop, uh, for
the streaming, for the
video recording, for uploading the
videos and everything that goes with it
.
[applause]
Exactly. Thanks to Lang August. Um,
this is the front building where the
Chaos meeting place is, where the event was, and
the KCR, where we are right now, whose hall
we were allowed to use, whose
conservatory we were allowed to use.
[applause]
And of course, a big thank you to everyone who
helped, all the angels and
helpers who spontaneously stepped in
. Thank you
[applause]
and thank you to all visitors, to all
of you for being there.
This wouldn't have been possible without you.
[applause]
Jannik, is there anything else you want to say? You just stand there like
this.
Correctly. Exactly
. Well, we've already expressed our
gratitude a great deal. I think that's
exactly what you did so beautifully,
and yes, but of course we
also have to thank our dear Kernorger
. Those include Luca
and David, but of course also Neri and
Falk, who unfortunately I think is
n't here right now, right? Right, you know?
Unfortunately, he has to move on, that's just how it
is. Um, yes, so a
big thank you for all the work you
did beforehand, especially in advance, but of course
also here at the event,
without which none of this would have been possible
. Thank you.
[applause]
Exactly.
Yes, thank you for the thank you. Um, if
anyone is interested in
doing the core organization next year and
doing all that nonsense again, um,
exactly, feel free to contact us. We
started organizing about three-quarters of a year in advance. Um, but because of that, everything
was
quite relaxed except for the last week and a half
. Exactly
. I already mentioned next year
. Theoretically, something like that could be done again
if
enough people could be found.
But we would like your feedback, we would
like to know what
could be improved next year, what you didn't like, um,
what you would like to see
added.
Yes, exactly. Um, the link isn't there
because the link can't be
typed out, but you can find it in the chat and
you'll also receive it all again via
Prettic email. Exactly
. Then we'll continue with the dismantling
from 4 pm onwards, that's in about a
quarter of an hour, we'll start with the dismantling
. We appreciate everyone who
stays a little longer and helps out.
We have some
food left for tonight so you don't starve. Um,
exactly. I already said it.
If you're leaving, feel free to take some
breakfast with you. Uh, then there's
not much left. And that's all for now,
and hopefully see you next time
.
[applause]
