Dear all,
Our next physical meeting on the 3rd and 4th of May in Berlin will take place at
Mozilla Berlin Schlesische Straße 27 10997 Berlin Germany
I'm happy we will be located in the German headquarter of a well-known FOSS producing and fostering organisation, and I think this will be a great place for us to plan our next steps.
On Thursday we will start at 09:00 and have the room until ~18:00. On Friday Katerina suggested to make 09:30 to 13:30.
We will have some large tables and enough seats, a large TV screen for presentations and screen sharing, power sockets, a whiteboard, access to a printer if required, and softdrinks/water/tea/coffee. For dinner I will reserve a cosy place for us. For lunch on both days we can either go out or join the Mozilla folks' catering for ~10€ per meal – please note that I would need to know this at least 1 week before the event!
# Accommodation
We are located near "Schlesisches Tor" and I recommend to pick a hotel next to the U1 subway line so you don't have to switch lanes to reach the venue. Here are some suggestions for hotels (50€-100€ per night) without liability ;)
Motel One (Berlin Tiergarten) Mercure Hotel (Berlin Zentrum) acama Hotel & Hostel Hotel Sachsenhof Hotel Prens Hotel Johann
A more pricey hotel near the venue:
Holiday Inn
Please use a hotel booking platform of your choice if you would like to compare actual prices and ratings. Platforms with good coverage of Berlin are Booking.com or HRS.
# Travel
By train: From "Berlin Hauptbahnhof" (main station) you can take the S5 to "Warschauer Straße" and switch to the U1 to "Schlesisches Tor". For Berlin, I recommend to download the Free Software Android app "Transportr" where you can select "BVG" as transport provider to calculate your inner-city travels.
By plane: Berlin has two airports, Tegel (TXL) and Schönefeld (SXF). Tegel is in the city centre so very well connected, while Schönefeld is in the outskirts but served by low-cost airlines.
Is there anything else you would need to know right now? Please let me know so I can inform everyone.
Best, Max
Dear all,
I am sending you attached our preliminary agenda for the Berlin meeting. Please notify me, if you want to add any discussion topics on the part "other issues" of our second day of meeting. I want to thank Francesco, Brian and Max for helping me organise the agenda in the previous days and for the presentations they are going to prepare for the team. Please be aware that each partner will have to present his final results on the Desk and Field research in day 1 (if you prepare slides, send them over to me, so that I add them to my PowerPoint).
Send me by e-mail any updates by 23.04 the latest and please remember to fill in the xls. table with the travel arrangements, so that we know how many of you are coming and how many copies we need to prepare.
I am very happy to see you in Berlin and I am looking forward to our fruitful and clarifying meeting!
Best, Katerina
