I did, thank you very much for making this possible!

The (mostly obvious if you were there) challenges are:
- 3 large flight of stairs (~ 5-6 floors), no elevator,
- 2-3 numbered locks with secrets to be passed around,
- the heated room got quite crowded; and some hacked in the much colder
  space just outside of the main room.

I'd recommend making it clearer that it's possible to get invoices for
attendance; something like: "Attendance is free, but if you or your employer
can contribute a modest amount towards helping making this event possible, the
recommended daily amount is #€; please get in contact with $ to get a formal
invoice".

pre- is good, agreed.
