The following locations have been mentionned as possible

Cultural Center in Bremgarten

  • http://kuzeb.ch/
  • Internet available
  • Cost: 0 - what we think is ok
  • On easter (traditionally) there will be a lot of concerts - an no place for a Chaos Event...
  • Summer break during july/august - should be no problem for a Chaos Event

Youth-culture-house in Brugg

  • http://www.p-i-c.ch
  • Cost: ~ 500 CHF if we need the whole house
  • good infrastructure: coffee/eating room with large kitchen, concert room, different small rooms, billiard table, tablefootball etc.

Negative:

  • too much publicity: other visitors not interested in technology

  • easy reachable with car and train
  • Cost: 2500 CHF per day (!) + additional cost depending on event

  • for an outdoor event
  • we're still trying to find out if it's even legally possible
  • they're ignoring all eMails

Responsibility (formation of an association ((Zweck-)Verein?))

for distribution of eventual (damage) costs among the association's members

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)
