Der CouchDB enthusiasts,

it does not take very long and we will be able to welcome you in Hamburg for the CouchDB Day 2015. 
This is super awesome and we are really excited. If you do not have a ticket yet, go and get one at 

https://ti.to/andywenk/couchdbday-hamburg-2015

There are some tickets left and we follow the rule: first come - first serve.

Although the following sections are mostly for the attendees we thought it's a cool idea to 
send it also to the community. If this is annoying to you we are sorry. You might want to
stop reading here.

Here are some important topics we ask you to read carefully. Please take a few minutes and 
scan them. If you have any questions, don't wait to ask Robert ([email protected]) 
or me ([email protected]).
