Dear OsmoDevCon attendees,
here's the current update:
== Venue on Friday ==
The venue on Friday (only on Friday!) will be:
CCC (Chaos Computer Club) Berlin e.V. Marienstr. 11 10117 Berlin
CCC Berlin can be found in the rear building on ground floor. You can find some more (German) information about the venue at https://berlin.ccc.de/wiki/Hauptseite
The local and regional train station "Friedrichstr" is very close to the event venue. A variety of trains, S-Bahn as well as U-Bahn (underground) are interconnecting at Friedrichstr.
Please note you must use the exit "Schiffbauerdamm", which you can reach exclusively from the western end of the top-most rail tracks of S3/S5/S7/S9, as it is the only exit that gets you to the northern shore of the river Spree. All other exits of the station will not get you where you need to be!.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday we will be at IN-Berlin, just like originally planned.
== Motel One ==
We received information that Motel One will be closed *all day*, i.e. if you booked a room there, it will not be possible to check in that day. They only open again on Saturday. The hotel has apparently been told that the evacuation expects to continue until 6pm, not only 2pm, leaving them no time to clean the rooms and process check-in of hotel guests anymore that day.
== Other Hotels ==
The situation is likely identical for other hotels in the evacuation zone, so if you stay in that zone, please contact your hotel and get the most up-to-date information
Regards, Harald
