It is made from a 45m by 1.5m large lacework banner that can be put up in a variety of spaces, conforming to the space's size and shape through bending and folding. 8seg is currently being set up at 37C3 in the entrance hall, on the second-floor railing in front of Hall X. Posting messages ---------------- To send messages to the display, please use the web interface linked above. 8seg is a community service run by a sole volunteer. Please respect my work, and please do not post offensive messages, spam or similar. 8seg is currently open to the congress network on the hope that y'all will behave civilly. Please don't make me put a login wall in front of this thing, alright? ;) You may write code to talk to the web interface, but please do not post automated messages at a frequency higher than one per 20 minutes. No spam, no commercial advertising and absolutely nothing cryptocurrency-related. Scheduling regular messages --------------------------- If you want your message to be added to the regular "idle rotation" of 8seg, which the display cycles through when no other messages are queued, please email me at the contact email above. Reporting abuse --------------- If you see 8seg being used for something stupid or bad, please email me at the contact email above. Further questions ----------------- For further questions, please email me at the email linked above, or message me on mastodon at `chaos.social/@jaseg `__.
