Please review the important information below, hit “reply” to get in touch.
Timing & Agenda
Friday

6pm - Casual Meetup at Prater Beer Garden https://goo.gl/maps/RzVGnkm6P4K2, hosted by @boris


Saturday & Sunday

Please arrive for 10am both days, c-base https://goo.gl/maps/PrHfPc9Pk2t (you can get off Jannowitzbrücke and walk along the southern shore of the Spree)
We’ll have name tags, but no formal registration
breakfast & lunch is provided, thanks to Web3 Foundation for sponsoring
we can continue to stay at c-base past 6pm, just that it is a shared space; there will be a cash bar available, and we can order in food for dinner

@jpitts & @boris are sitting down Thursday to do further work on the agenda and proposed topics.
We will kick off on Saturday with @jpitts, @gcolvin et all to set the rules of engagement, principles, and so on.
Expect this to be very collaborative and unconference style. We’ll have a “main” space where we can all gather, and some set aside space and time where people can choose to gather in smaller groups. Plus: outside space for “hallway conversations”.
Presentations
Do you have slides? Lightning talks or EIPs can be usefully illustrated with 3 - 10 slides, and are great to capture along with (short) talks. Please email @boris (reply to this email) your slides so we can run them from one laptop.
Sponsors & Donations
Thank you sponsors!


Web3 Foundation: host organization on the ground in Berlin, taking care of breakfast & lunch both days

Santiment: video streaming team sponsorship, paying for the video crew to come and capture talks & mini interviews
Community Sponsors are those that have donated 1 ETH or more – thank you Giveth and Livepeer


We ask that attendees consider a suggested 0.1 ETH donation as we build out the Magi and help support councils and working groups.

Hi Ladies and Gents! So sad about my schedule change to Korea for blockchain week and inability to meet for the Summer Council.
I was looking forward to collaborate on optimizing the EIP process, scaling Magicians globally and methods to decentralize the product backlog without all the noise. Hopefully this message gives sufficient time to make any changes if needed. Good news is that my partner and friend @Jason_C  will be there! 
@boris thanks for all your contributions
@jpitts Jason had so many good things to say about you, hope to meet you sometime soon
@gcolvin And we miss each other once again - maybe I’ll see you in CO
Have fun and excited for great things to happen!
