We received some feedback which suggested activating the Askbot for more structured questions. We have now enabled it, but will not allow anonymous postings as it is then often hard to impossible for us to debug issues. Please also do not expect immediate answers or interactive discussions there, as we will keep those on Mattermost.

Beyond that, please feel free to reach out to the team through a direct message if you have exercise-specific questions that you do not want to share with everyone in Town Square. 

Due to my attendance of EuroS&P in July, we will have to skip the slot on July 10. Since last year, the Q/A for §8 and §9 was rather short, I have decided to merge the two meetings and move up the schedule a bit for infrastructure. Please find the updated version in the CMS. We will also adjust the schedule for exercises because of this, but will inform you early enough about the changes (note: you will have strictly more time than before).

Hi folks,

thanks to a quick reminder on Mattermost (if you are not there, you should join soon ;)), I made the video for Lecture 2 available. The accompanying slides + Q/A slides are available in the Materials section. Please check into the questions we pose there as we want to discuss these in the next lecture slot.

Note that due to the public holiday next week, the next lecture will be on May 8 10:15 in the Bernd Therre lecture hall in CISPA.

Dear all,

we start our lectures this week on Wednesday at 10 am (c.t.) in CISPA's 0.05 lecture hall (when you enter the building, it's on your left behind the counter). Note that with the currently signed up students, it will be crowded, so please don't leave any spaces between each other.

Also, given that we have reached our capacity a while back, I closed the ability for other to register. I have received a number of requests to join, so should want to not attend the lecture after all, please use the option to unregister from the course. This may allow others to take the course. And while I have your attention here, let me remind you that this is not your average 6CP course and you will have to invest significant time and effort (but I promise, you will learn a lot).

Note that we will be recording the Q/A sessions we do weekly, but uploading of those may be delayed. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to attend the weekly meetings.
