 +===== Sponsoring ===== 
 + 
 +As always, we are open to sponsorships, and one has already found its way to us.  
 + 
 +[[http://cfd.direct|{{:events:sponsor-cfd-direct-logo.png?nolink|CFD.direct}}]] 
 + 
 +[[http://cfd.direct|CFD.direct]], who also co-sponsored our cloud-based macOS build servers -  have agreed to sponsor this event with 500 EUR (plus VAT), like they already did last year. Their donation will be used for the lodging and dining costs of some participants. 
 + 
 +Thinking of becoming a sponsor as well? Let us know! The more, the merrier! :-) 
 +Of course, all sponsors will be named on our sponsorship wiki page, unless they wish to remain anonymous. 
 + 
 +

 +    * It is a 20 minute walk (or 10 minute tram ride) between the event location and the Gästehaus ABZ Stuttgart, as you can see [[https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Arbeiterbildungszentrum+S%C3%BCd+e.V.,+Bruckwiesenweg+10,+70327+Stuttgart/shackspace,+Ulmer+Stra%C3%9Fe,+Stuttgart/@48.7775326,9.2356035,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4799c4442050708b:0x995ef2b1b703be50!2m2!1d9.253212!2d48.7771674!1m5!1m1!1s0x4799dad3b929ebd7:0x9f356004256c0703!2m2!1d9.2355696!2d48.7770933!3e2|here]] 
 +  * we also have some rooms available at [[http://hoteldiscovery.de/|Hotel Discovery]] 
 +    * single rooms there start at 80 EUR/night, so 160 EUR total (as above, might be slightly more due to taxes) 
 +    * It is a 22 minute walk (or 11 minute tram ride) between the event location and the Hotel Discovery, as you can see [[https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Discovery,+Hornbergstra%C3%9Fe+4,+70188+Stuttgart/shackspace,+Ulmer+Stra%C3%9Fe,+Stuttgart/@48.7775326,9.2356035,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4799c4e67c565149:0xedb348fa1705c99e!2m2!1d9.217155!2d48.786096!1m5!1m1!1s0x4799dad3b929ebd7:0x9f356004256c0703!2m2!1d9.2355696!2d48.7770933!3e2|here]] 
 + 
 +**For those of you that signed up for accommodation, the following rules are part of the deal:** 
 + 
 +===== Terms and Conditions ===== 
 +  - If you become sick, then please stay at home.  Let us know ASAP so we can cancel your reservation/reassign your room. 
 +  - If you've had recent contact with someone that has some contagious disease, and you are not 100% sure that you're immune - please, stay at home as well, and let us know ASAP so we can cancel your reservation/reassign your room. 
 +  - If you know that someone has a contagious disease, and you've signed up for our event, please do not seek physical contact with that person before the event.  If you have anything that needs to be discussed because you need it for the event, use e-mail, phone calls, whatever, but don't visit each other, the reason being rule #2. 
 +  - If you cancel your reservation, it may mean we still have to charge you (exact terms and conditions depend on the hostel/hotel), if we cannot fill your spot with someone else. Of course, we will do our best to avoid this. 
 +  - If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, no pork, no alcohol, ...), please let us know when you sign up so we can prepare everything in advance.  Same goes for any food allergies or other medical conditions that we should know of. 
 +  - [[https://wiki.shackspace.de/ethik|shackspace house rules]] are in full effect. An inofficial English translation will be provided $SOONISH. 
 +  - The golden rule of previous //X2Go: The Gathering// events is also still in effect: Don't be a dick. 
 +  - Taking part in the event means that while you are in the meeting room assigned to us, you are OK with being photographed, recorded (audio and/or video), and/or livestreamed, with the intent of making this material available to the general public.  It also means you agree **not** to take pictures, record audio and/or video, nor run a livestream **outside** our meeting room (shackspace has many other rooms that you may visit during your stay), unless **everyone** that can be seen or heard has given you permission to do so.
