In the surrounding restaurants and shops, payment can usually be made by both cash and card.

All creatures welcome

All beings are welcome at FediDay. Whether you’ve been running your own instance for years or are just hearing about ActivityPub for the first time: No prior experience with the Fediverse is required to participate. Come by, listen, and ask questions.

Code of Conduct

For FediDay, the c-miteinander of c-base and the Mastodon Server Covenant apply.

Photo Policy

No one will be photographed without consent.

Everyone will receive a name badge to wear. If you do not wish to be photographed, attach a red sticker to it — this then applies to everyone.

If members of the audience are recognizable in a photo, please ask for permission first.

Recordings and Stream

The talks will be live-streamed and recorded on c-tube, c-base’s PeerTube instance.

Only the speakers will be filmed. Otherwise, the photo policy also applies here.

Accessibility

Children and Pets

c-base is a space station for adult life forms — we are unfortunately unable to accommodate young children and pets such as dogs at c-base, on the rooftop terrace, or at ETI (§ 12e BGG remains unaffected).

There is no childcare and no changing facilities.

Food and Drinks

Drinks will be available on-site.

For food, the surrounding streets offer a wide selection of Asian, Turkish, German, and other restaurants and snack bars.

You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks.

Consideration for Each Other

If you are ill, please stay at home — out of consideration for everyone else.

Masks may be worn at any time. A limited number of FFP2 masks will be available. Rooms that cannot be ventilated will be equipped with air filters.

Weather

Berlin in September is usually mild during the day, but it can get cooler in the evening (15°C to 20°C), especially on the rooftop terrace. A warm layer is recommended.

Podcast Studio

For FediDay, we are setting up c-base’s sound studio as a podcast studio. If you would like to record there, please contact the organizing team; we will be happy to assist you on-site.
