Chalisti
The Chalisti was the first German-language electronic magazine. It appeared for the first time on September 26, 1989 and was published irregularly until its 22nd edition on October 3, 1993. The name refers to the apple with the inscription "Kallisti" ("the most beautiful"), which the Greek goddess of chaos and discord Eris threw into a circle between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite and thus triggered an argument. The alienation of the name to "Chalisti" should clarify the closer proximity to the term "chaos" instead of the term "discord".
The Chalisti was published by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). The editorial office was located in Oldenburg (Lower Saxony, Germany) and became an important publication medium for active people in the CCC alongside the “ data thrower ”. In terms of content, it dealt with topics such as computer networks , data protection , data security , operating systems and network policy . The content was primarily contributed by freelance authors, as well as by the editorial team, who picked up and processed contributions from the computer networks. The editorial team also reported regularly from the Chaos Communication Congress and the CeBIT trade fair. Contributions from the sister editorial team “Die Datenschleuder” were also used.
The original magazine was distributed exclusively electronically via EARN / BITNET , UUCP -based networks (Subnet, Dnet), Geonet, as well as the telephone network-based mailbox networks FidoNet , MausNet , Z-Netz and other computer networks at that time . As a result, Chalisti articles were again and again the basis for web-based discussions about the topics initiated by the magazine.
Quotes
The imprint of the Chalisti was preceded by a modified quote from the historical preamble of the Basic Law , which was supposed to describe the goals of the magazine:
"All of humanity is called upon to complete the unity and freedom of the global village in free self-determination."
