BS11 in Berlin? Re: Musings on public API

historical

Yes, as far as I know there ist a private BS11 from Harald located at  
CCCB (correct me if I am wrong).
Also there are some BS11 located at the BHT University Berlin (TFH).
If you want to see them in action just tell me ;)

I will be also from 21. at SIGINT in Cologne, so if you have time to  
meet me there...

Best regards
Björn
