You need to register for the event:
https://ch2026.mini.debconf.org/about/registration/

> Book something,

Many people stay at https://depot195.ch, you need to book by your own.
We have limited capacity in 'Kadettenhuette'
(https://www.gruppenhaussuche.ch/de/haus/gruppenhaus-kadettenhuette)
you need to bring your own sleeping bag. Let me know if this might be an option
for you.

> pay a ticket, bring something over?

You just need to register, see above. Contributions of food and drinks to the
Cheese and Wine party are always more than welcome:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/ch/2026/MiniDebConf/CheeseAndWine

There will be an option to donate some money to Debian during the event.

The talks will be in English. We have registrations from people of 15 different 
nations; so not too much Swiss-german I guess..

Looking forward to see you soon in Winterthur
