Because of a music festival it's extremely difficult to find a bed for the night before the talks start on the 7th of August, but I finally found something.

That's why I'm cancelling my other reservation for a 3 bedroom apartment from the 7th till 10th of August. It's only 200 m from the venue and very affordable if you can share.

I already posted this on the telegram channel which is replicated on IRC, but without reaction.

(And I wasn't able to find a conference wiki, so I'm sharing here)

Hopefully it's of help for someone else.
