1. LinuxTag 2004 is starting soon... Welcome everybody! In less than two months the show is over already, which means that there's a lot of work to do during the following weeks if we want to produce a successful event this year again. Organisation started early this year, but only now I'm sending out the first general letter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. However, if possible I will point to the FAQ which should already contain most of the information you'll need. You'll find additional information at <http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2004/>. Don't worry about the Debian part, this directory is just a collection for both general and Debian related organisation. 2. Descriptions and Logos In the projects frontend at <http://www.infodrom.org/LinuxTag/>, you are able to edit the description for your project, both in English and German. I'll need to finalise the work for this years' exhibition journal soon. Therefore, please ensure that the description for your project is appropriate. The description will also be visible at the list of [1]projects. 1. http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2004/projects.php3 Each project should also submit a logo for the project. I have logos for most projects already. If you are unsure, please send me a high-resolution logo, rendered against a white background (if any) in a lossless format (i.e. no JPEG). PS, TIFF and PNG are fine formats. 3. Sleeping Space in the Gym Hall I am happy that this year again it is possible to stay at the "gym hall" named AKK with other project members during the nights if you don't want to go into a hotel. Please mark your entry in the projects interface if you want to stay there, so that we can calculate. Please use AKK for the name of the sleeping place if you want to stay there. Any other names will be discarded with regards to the AKK, so you can use them for your own organisation if you like. Breakfast at the AKK will probably cost EUR 3.00 per day. Last year there was wireless and terrestrial Internet access provided as well. 4. Workshops Just like last year we have the opportunity to use two workshop rooms that offer space for about 50 people (seats, and some 20 more without chairs). If you want to give a talk or organise a Birds of a Feather session, just drop me a line and I'll reserve the room for you. We can only use the rooms from Thursday to Saturday, so Wednesday is out of question, unfortunately. Currently there are still many open slots, so you should be able to find a free one for your project at least. However, since the slots are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis you'd better not be too late. Please see the FAQ [2]item as well. 2. http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2004/faq.html#talk 5. Beamer At the moment, these rooms don't have a beamer yet and I don't want to rent them for load of money. I'd rather like to spend this money on booth-space for you. Hence, I'm in need of two beamers for these rooms. If you should be able to bring one with you, please let me know. There'll be one LinuxTag supporter in the same room when the beamer is in use, so that it doesn't get lost. 6. Deliveries It is possible to send packaged stuff to LinuxTag independent of your own arrival. However, the exhibition is large and if there's nobody knowing about the packages, it cannot be guaranteed that they will arrive at the proper booth. Therefore, please only use the address given [3]here and please inform Joey about that you expect something. Hence, please tell him who sends it, who should receive the stuff and the content if possible. Joey will act as dispatcher anyway, but can only accept and dispatch stuff he knows about. If you can add a contact person, add "Herr Schulze". If you can add a phone number for the recipient, please add 0631-3109371, which will be routed to Joeys office in Karlsruhe. 3. http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2004/faq.html#stuff
