Yesterday, I made the announcement that the Hackathon would be open to anyone willing to pay $100 to get in. That idea has now been nixed. Instead, anyone can come in for the full day completely free. It's like a big Munich Meetup!

So, if you are in the area and can't make the conference, now you've got even more reason to drop by the Hackathon. If you know someone in the area who might be interested, drop them a line about it and encourage them to go. The food provided is for registered attendees, so those coming in for the Hackathon will need to bring their own lunch, but other than that they have access to the entire day, from the opening talk to the time they kick us out.

I was a little offended (from a community POV) that it wasn't free for all.

No matter, good news for all that can attend!

Wow, it's great news that the D Foundation can afford to do that ;)
