[hs-equality] Queer Geeks Panel is TONIGHT

[Koen Martens]

Hey Mitch,

Given the aim for a larger audience, perhaps we need some pa speakers as well??

I'm at berlinsides right now, but do you have any clue on how to arrange such a
thing at the bcc??

I'll drop by in an hour or two, when i'm back at the bcc
