As always, we are open to sponsorships, and two have already found their way to us.
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.
Plattsalat West is offering us the same rebates usually only available to their members, when shopping there for our Saturday lunch or dinner.
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.
For those of you that signed up for accommodation, the following rules are part of the deal:
Note that these times are not yet fully confirmed - we're working on it.
Confirmed shackspace keyholder: Jo (AKA 0x4A6F) Backup shackspace keyholder: r0zzy - might not be able to make it that early on Friday, but is available Sat/Sun
