Hi all!

Hey @almereyda thanx a lot for taking a lead on the next squatconf, really
hugely appreciated! (I was contemplating doin something squatconfy, but got
a bit lazy). I'm in.

Just put some notes in the old pad here:
https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/1/edit/xycHT+u8OGdeJRIIKex2Fg/pbEcO53RTIviklwNRLpcujfP/
can use this for now, unless you have other preferred means of comms.
Made a suggestion in there to have a week long Squatconf. Cuz DTN is a
pretty divey event in itself and I'd like to attend. Yet I'd love to take
part in the Squatconf as well. I'm up for clearing up the whole week for
the Squatconf.
I couldn't find squatconf on freenode btw, does it still exist?

@Dmytri Kleiner <dk@???> do you still have access to that lovely space
you hosted a little event with federated wiki Ward, or should we look for
more locations? I have a potential location in xberg available 24/7 with
chairs, projector, fridge and stuff.

Adding my contacts cuz I keep missing my emails:
Telegram: @j328044
Signal: +49 1520 6068091

Another suggestion: whoever is in Berlin we can try to get together IRL
sometime next week & chat about Squatconf, check out the potential venue
etc.
