  • Is this event open to all or strictly to community members?

  • Can I bring my computer and use it in the workshop area?
        Certainly you can bring and use your computer.
        Keep in mind that the 230V power plugs are unique for Switzerland and foreign visitors will need most likely a travel adapter.
        BTW: It should be no problem to bring other stuff like hard-/software, posters, leaflets, CD/DVD's etc. Even Switzerland is not in the EU, it is in the Schengen area. Travelling to Switzerland should be the same as if you travel to Germany or France for example.
