know about it
Mizushima: What time does the registration start?
Sebastian: No need to worry about it, they already have your name. It should not take long
Kaz: Could you add more information to the wiki, e.g., the campus map, the entrance and the registration desk? If it's difficult, you can simply add a link to the campus map from your web page.
Sebastian: There will be food for lunch, snack style. You can get some warm food if you pay extra
Sebastian: there is also a lab tour organized, it is optional of course

Sebastian: There is MS Teams available in the room
Kaz: Can the remote participants use Teams?
McCool: a calendar invite with teams link would be nice
Ege: It would be the best if everyone tests team
Sebastian: we have rooms booked for people to sit in different rooms to do focused work

Sebastian: there will be 80-100 people attending and also the press will be there
Kaz: We should add information about who have registered to the event
Kaz: Should we make the registration public to all?

Kaz: deadline for submission is Friday?
Sebastian: not necessarily but at least on monday would be nice to have the TDs already
Kaz: so everybody is encouraged :)
Kaz: The list of Things and Consumers on the README.md has "contact" information, but it might make sense to have another list describing which participant belongs to which organization.
