Location

The big Berlin meet-up. Location to be announced on 28/8!

29/8 is also the 25th Lange Nacht der Museen (English: Long Night of the Museums), even more reason to come to Berlin!

The hashpoint for the day is shown to the right but is a good 7km from the nearest train station. Should we pick an alternative meeting spot? Discuss your thoughts on the talk page.

Plans

To explore strange new places; to seek out new games and new achievements; to boldly go where no hasher has gone before... and be the first graticule to get the Migration Geohash (come on, fifty isn't that much! And more than 26 should be even easier...)

Planning will begin on the IRC channel and on this page at 15:30 local time on Friday 28th. We plan to visit the hashpoint no matter where it lands, which may involve taking trains or renting minivans. A back-up plan is proposed in case the hashpoint is inaccessible: please comment on the talk page.

For those travelling from further afield, travel planning is on the talk page.
