discussion to move Ice Breaker from Botanical Garden to BaseCamp
- we tend more to Base Camp because it's easier to organize
- perhaps ask at Harmonie in Bonn-Endenich for possible alternative
Martin Arimont took the chair as event manager:
Danilo likes to assist Carmen with workshop facilities and organisation -> has to ask Carmen, if OK for her
Uli Rothstein thinks of taking the chair for the code sprint organisation
Torsten had contact to some banks and asked for conditions for a bank account

The Marketing & Outreach team is forming around Gert-Jan van der Weijden and Marc Floemans. We still need support from the German community. We are also evaluating professional support offered by Timo Thalmann (Textkoch) and Monika Rech (Rheintext).
Till will contact the organizers of the BarCamp Bonn on 18. Juni. im Stadthaus Bonn at 18:00. Feel free to join.
We are still looking for somebody to organizes the Code Sprint. We are already evaluating different venue options but the concrete organization itself should e4ventually be managed by a dedicated person.
