[emacs-berlin] 40c3 Assembly?

[Zeremonienmeister Berber Aab]

i said nothing about free, it's just about being able to buy one, 
because the supply is limited.

however, you can request a "friends" price if you don't have enough 
money.  you explain what you are willing to pay, and then they usually 
say "aight".  the process is described here: 
https://events.ccc.de/congress/2026/infos/tickets/ .

the presale madness already starts tomorrow.

i am willing to help you and tell you everything you need to know for 
the assembly.  it's pretty easy.  i have seen assemblies that are 
basically just a group of mathematician friends that called it math 
something, and they just sat there and hung out.

btw accommodation can also be very cheap if you are willing to sleep in 
a school gym and bring your own sleeping bag.
