=== Avoiding dehydration during the day ===
72
73
IN-Berlin has a fridge with a selection of cold beverages (lemonades, club mate, water, beers) available to be purchased
74
at extremely low prices (about 1 EUR / bottle).  There are tea and coffee-making facilities.  They also carry some candy-bar
75
type snacks.  There are several supermarkets within walking distance from the venue, if you'd like to bring your own.
76
77
=== Lunch ===
78
79
Lunch catering will be brought into IN-Berlin every day.  Sponsoring for this will be provided by [http://sysmocom.de/ sysmocom GmbH].
80
81
=== Dinner ===
82
83
Last year there were some complaints that dinner was not organized.  Even if there is no sponsoring, it would have been useful to
84
at least have some reservations.  We will take this recommendation and organize something.
