Yesterday attended a "Hack & Tell" event at c-base Berlin, and it was breathtakingly beautiful!! Welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and _really_ well moderated: silences avoided, awkward questions uncharged and redirected, distractions channeled into conversations. Lovely, energizing meetup!

This evening: "BHNT 106 - 30 years of c-base" - first time in the recently renovated mainhall of @c-base.org

PSA: there is no BHNT tonight as @c-base.org is in maintenance mode.
If you come on board you will not get 8 inspiring presentations with discussions as usual - but you will be forced to work ;-)
We plan to continue next month with a "30 years of c-base" special

No Stammtisch today as @c-base.org is in maintenance mode in preparation for the 30 year celebrations.
If you come on board there will be no relaxed conversations with drinks as usual - but you will be expected to work on maintaining the space station ;-)
