1. Workshops and BoF Sessions The workshop (and community forum) schedule is pretty much filled up already, so if you would like to give a talk, presentation, workshop, which is not yet scheduled, please get in touch with Joey as soon as possible so a slot can be reserved for you. This year we are in the fortunate position to maintain more rooms than during past events. As a result, there is still a chance to register a room during LinuxTag for a BoF session or a meeting that doesn't require any technical support. Please meet Joey in the LinuxTag office for negotiations if you need one room. 2. Power and Internet Connectivity Power will be provided by LinuxTag and KMK for the projects booths. Internet connectivity will be provided by Schlund + Partner, LinuxTag and INKA. WLAN connectivity will be provided by Saxonia and INKA. You don't have to worry about these. However, you'll need to take enough extension cords and power multiplier sockets with you. We cannot provide them in a proper number for all projects. Please be advised to take long network cables with you (see below). You will also need some switches for hte inner-booth network. If you use a cable drum for distributing power, please make sure not to connect any computers or monitors to it unless you've pulled off the entire cable. Otherwise you will probably learn about the magic of electricity when things blow up. By the way, I would like this not to happen. 3. Network Gartenhalle We will build a terrestrial network[1] in the Gartenhalle again. The network will be set up on Tuesday. We will place a few switches in the exhibition area to which the projects can connect their own booth network. You should be prepared to use a long cable (10-20m) to connect to the semi-central switch or to the neighbour booth. 1. http://hydra.hq.linuxtag.net/~joey/LT2005/network.png For Arch Linux, OHR and Asterisk, a 5-10m cable should suffice. OfficeProductivity does not need a long cable. For all others, please take such a cable with you, even if it may turn out that it isn't needed later. Every booth will get a /24 network of RFC 1918 addresses with which you can do whatever you want. We will not provide a global DHCP service. If you use DHCP on your own booth, plese ensure that you don't accidently connect other booths by providing addresses for random devices. You'll get the address block in the exhibition office. 4. Network Stadthalle We will also provide a terrestrial network with similar conditions for the exhibition in the Stadthalle (conference center). Long cables are mandatory as well. However, for this building I don't have an exact plan yet. If somebody could provide us with some 80m or 100m cables, that would help a lot. Every booth will get a /24 network of RFC 1918 addresses with which you can do whatever you want. We will not provide a global DHCP service. If you use DHCP on your own booth, plese ensure that you don't accidently connect other booths by providing addresses for random devices. You'll get the address block in the exhibition office. 5. Internet Security Please don't use any unencrypted network protocol with personalised passwords that are transfered in plain text. If you do so, you'd better consider your accound compromised during LinuxTag. This is only a warning. LinuxTag e.V. can not be held responsible for abused accounts, especially not if the corresponding password was blowed through the network unencrypted. On other events, plaintext passwords found on the wire are projected to a wall. 6. KaLUG Party Don't forget the KaLUG Party which will take place on Thursday evening at the AKK after the show. Most projects booth personnel, and many people from the community will attend. I have created a small map[2] for you to find out how to get there from LinuxTag. The KaLUG will serve food and fluids at cost price. It will be organised open air, so good weather is guaranteed. 2. http://hydra.hq.linuxtag.net/~joey/LT2005/akk.ps Best wishes, Joey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
