It's the biggest German airport and only 100 km away. It should be really easy to get from there to Karlsruhe by train. And inside Karlsruhe it's probably best to take the public transport system. the cheapest rooms I could find was roughly 65,-- Euro for a double room in the center not too far from the fair ground. The most expensive one was 180,-- Euro. So take your pick :). Oh, and there'll be a gym or something like that for free for the OpenSource community. I stayed in it last year and it was great fun as you meet lots of people and thus can talk about their projects. But that's perhaps not the best choice for a family.
