In the rooms of [http://www.in-berlin.de/ IN-Berlin e.V.], Berlin, Germany, the Universe.

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,

Some kind of pole+stand is required, though.

30
31
The format of this workshop is not formal lectures/talks.  It's more like "guided discussions", i.e. there are
32
topics and each topic will get an "owner" who should introduce the topic and lead the discussion related to it.

=== Avoiding dehydration during the day ===
99
100
IN-Berlin has a fridge with a selection of cold beverages (lemonades, club mate, water, beers) available to be purchased
101
at extremely low prices (about 1 EUR / bottle).  There are tea and coffee-making facilities.  They also carry some candy-bar
102
type snacks.  There are several supermarkets within walking distance from the venue, if you'd like to bring your own.
103
104
=== Lunch ===
105
106
Lunch catering will be brought into IN-Berlin every day.  Sponsoring for this will be provided by [http://sysmocom.de/ sysmocom GmbH].
107
108
=== Dinner ===
109
110
Last year there were some complaints that dinner was not organized.  Even if there is no sponsoring, it would have been useful to
111
at least have some reservations.  We will take this recommendation and organize something.

127
128
There is some public parking in Lehrter Str., where IN-Berlin is located, but it is quite crowded.  Parking your car might
129
not be easy, but not as bad as at C-Base last year.

136
137
A more expensive alternative within 15 minutes of walking is [http://www.motel-one.com/en/hotels/berlin/hotel-berlin-hauptbahnhof/#t=hotelinfo Motel One Berlin-Hauptbahnhof]
