Lectures

We probably need to set a date before we can plan this ...

• Who likes to do one (and about what)?
• German/English?
• Who can bring beamers?
• Does someone like to write a schedule?

Participants

If you plan to come, please put your name here. If you're not sure, just write your name and the probability that you will join us, so we can calculate the expected value for the number of people :)

(I guess we need the date here, too)

Optional/not-so-important stuff

• projects?
• somebody knows a nice name/motto for our event (swiss chaos event is admittedly not very creative)?
• someone likes to design a logo?
• t-shirts? (if someone creates a nice logo, I'm willing to take care of getting it on t-shirts (Andreas))
