||
8 | As such, the primary audience is people who have been contributing to the project. |
||
9 | |||
10 | It is '''not''' an event '''targetted at users'''. |
||
11 | |||
12 | Attendance requires registration (see below) and notification of acceptance. There number of participants |
||
13 | is limited to about 20. |
||
14 | |||
15 | == When == |
||
16 | |||
17 | April 4 through April 7, 2013. This is Thursday through Sunday, to ensure people with regular day jobs |
||
18 | don't have to take off four but only two days. |
||
19 | |||
20 | == Where == |
||
21 | |||
22 | In the rooms of [http://www.in-berlin.de/ IN-Berlin e.V.], Berlin, Germany, the Universe. |

23 | |||
24 | The meeting / seminar / conference room at IN-Berlin is located on ground floor and has windows facing east. |
||
25 | In front of those windows is a road + sidewalk which is directly in north-south direction, |
||
26 | i.e. it may be possible to set up some (GPS, Thuraya, etc.) antennas on the sidewalk, if required. |

27 | Some kind of pole+stand is required, though. |
||
28 | |||

||
30 | |||
31 | The format of this workshop is not formal lectures/talks. It's more like "guided discussions", i.e. there are |
