Comments:

• We could try to get in touch with [http://www.thealternative.ch TheAlternative]; they organized Install Parties at the ETHZ and we could benefit from their infrastructure, if we want to organize something in Zurich. --Calimarno

• If we do it in Zurich the dock18 maybe would be a good place. --["Emonkey"]
• As a backup plan, we should make a list of suitable restaurants as well
