hmm.. we're still talking about hamburg here, right ?
yes
you're right in so far as since this is the first european cypherpunk meeting one can have absolutely no idea how many people will be showing. depending on how well announced the meeting is i'd guess > 50 people however (maybe the bay area people can give us a rough count on how much people are showing to an averge meeting there and we can try to extrapolate something from that - cultural difference nonwithstanding :)... there were physical meetings in non-west-coast places as well, dunno remember where however. the numbers for those should be a little bit more of a benchmark/pointer to us).
any hints welcome. I know I'd be shot on the spot if I make a suggestion such as "here's a webpage, click the button if you want to come." :)) but at least a rough estimate would help.
A cafe sounds like a good idea, we might try meeting at a mall, on a public place or somewhere else however.
that's why I'm looking for a place with outside tables. you can just wander by and see the group, the crypto books, whatever.
