Squatconf happened in November 2014 in Paris in a squat, hence the name.

We had a second one happening in Berlin in April 2016 at [Spektrum][1].

## ... and now we go to Berlin end april 2016!
|
|
|

## ... Squatconf never stop
|

|
We want to make another Squatconf happening happen around
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
end April 2016 in Berlin. Timing wise it's next to "re:publica" so that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
researchers and others who are going to this business conference can also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
drop by at squatconf to participate in a more independent event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Berlin has gotten quite trendy, more expensive and squatting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is much less happening than it used to. But there still is lots of life
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and lazyness which hasn't been fully occupied by world-wide-capitalism
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yet.

## Money and time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever we need money wise we'll pay for it by asking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for donations by all who come. We'd like to keep it a somewhat small
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
no-entrance-fee conference, collectively organized by those who attend,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with a personal atmosphere. Besides listening to good talks you can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also have interesting conversations while preparing food for all in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
kitchen. We'd like nobody to get overly stressed which can happen all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
too easily if single individuals feel responsible for collective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes. The most important commitment when coming to Squatconf is our
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time and dedication to create a space where things happen and people
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
feel free to talk. Btw, any kind of racist or sexist behaviour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will receive fierce opposition.

## I want to help / I need help
|
|
|
|
We want to make another Squatconf happening, but nothing is clear yet about dates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you can help with organizing stuff in Berlin please come a few days earlier
|
|
|
|
Until then every place where we meet is squatconf, come talk on irc
|
|
|
|
as some of us do. Drop by at #squatconf on freenode and/or subscribe to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[mailing list](https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/squatconf).

If you bring a sleeping bag something should be possible but it's good
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if you tell before so that we have an idea on how many people need accomodation.
