This will be our 2nd in-person event for 2020. A cautious first step from the virtual to the real.
...
Why?
We are thinking about putting together an in-person event for the first time in a long while. (s. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-User-Groups-articles/RFC-Opening-up-To-meet-how-to-meet-or-not-to-meet-that-is-the/ba-p/1408934#M47 ) after the Senate published their revised COVID-19 rules today.

Make no mistake: This is not risk free, but in our fair city the risk looks manageable enough - sticking to few ground rules - to try, because - again - staying at home and avoiding all human contact is not a long-term solution.
And we honestly would like to see you again in real 3D.
When and Where?
August, 13th - 18:00 – Airport Tempelhof- Park closes 21:30 in August. As this is a very big and busy place, we are still thinking about a way to share where exactly.
We will have swag and maybe a tombola for something extra. Thinking about how to organize that tombola…
We have to be flexible about this. If cases rise above a certain level and the Senate asks us to stay at home or if the weather is not suitable, we will have to move this on short noticeWe will share an exact location about an hour before the event.
What?
This is a first. We want to sit and chat with you about your experiences during lockdown, how did remote work work for you? With or without Atlassian. Did a Trello/Jira board save your sanity? Did you keep a Confluence diary?
Open mike. We want to record and publish it, thinking about a Zoom meeting as an extension to give more people a chance to join/communicate with us.
How?
It is not risk free, and the Senate of Berlin requires us to have a concept, so here it is.
