||
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 | |||
29 | == Format == |
||
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. |
||

65 | === Avoiding dehydration during the day === |
||
66 | |||
67 | IN-Berlin has a fridge with a selection of cold beverages (lemonades, club mate, water, beers) available to be purchased |
||
68 | at extremely low prices (about 1 EUR / bottle). There are tea and coffee-making facilities. They also carry some candy-bar |
||
69 | type snacks. There are several supermarkets within walking distance from the venue, if you'd like to bring your own. |
||
70 | |||
71 | === Lunch === |
||
72 | |||
73 | Lunch catering will be brought into IN-Berlin every day. Sponsoring for this will be provided by [http://sysmocom.de/ sysmocom GmbH]. |
||
74 | |||
75 | === Dinner === |
||
76 | |||
77 | Last year there were some complaints that dinner was not organized. Even if there is no sponsoring, it would have been useful to |
||
78 | at least have some reservations. We will take this recommendation and organize something. |
||
