Tantek Çelik cannot make this due to having to participate at W3C TPAC in Japan on Monday the 10th (which is Sunday the 9th late Europe time, or early afternoon US time). If someone else drive finding a venue for Berlin and overall organizing the IndieWebCamp, then these dates would be easier for folks primarily traveling for btconf (and have no W3C TPAC responsibilities). - +0
