Yes, Chaostreff on the 22nd (Was: Meet in September?)
Hi Axel,
Thanks!
I think we share several interests: Debian, white
hat hacking, not drinking/smoking, and the shell.
Yes, the regular Chaostreff on the 22nd looks
good.
It'd be great if you could come for it.
If I understand correctly, it's at
Birsfelderstrasse 6
4132 Muttenz
which Google maps says is about 6 kilometers
south-east of Basel.
If anyone has good advice for
a.) public transportation between Basel and
Muttenz, and
b.) a casual and healthy place to eat before
Chaostreff,
please share your thoughts.
Thanks again,
Kingsley
