1.OPENING WORDS
WE NEVER STOP!
Abort97, Abort98, Abort99 and we just keep on going making it better each
year.
Ok, so another Abort is going to happen and again it's going to rule!
Yet this year we have taken our idea further. Our goal is not just to make a
demo party, but to make a happening that will unite not only demo scenners,
but also all other people that find computers fun & challenging to use.
We aim high, but we have confidence that we will make a great event with
great people having fun, interacting, exchanging ideas and knowledge and
most importantly making new friends and meeting old ones.
In this spirit we have decided that beside demo party Abort will also
include Linux festival where people from free & open software community will
show what they do and what they stand for.
We hope we will be able to organize future Aborts (2001...), but this will
only be possible if you show up at the camp & participate in the happening
and competitions!
This is a NON-PROFITABLE event, all the income will be spent for the event
itself.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILED VERSION OF THIS INVITATION!
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Those who will not apply in advance will have to pay a small entrance fee.
Chairs, tables, electricity & network connectivity will be available to
everyone. You have to bring SAFE electricity cables with you, network
equipment is welcomed too.
If you are planning your visit, let us know TODAY! (www.abort2000.org)
We would like to encourage you to bring your computer with you. Computers are
very important part of the party, if you don't have one with you, you won't be
able to show your work to your friends and have other fun during 'free' time.
Don't forget to bring network cards & cables with you!
Also electronic voting will be much easier if you'll have your own computer.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
5. COMPETITIONS
There will be some standard competitions and some special ones (surprise!).
Because there is almost no interest in Amiga, Commodore & other compos,
only PC compos will be held. If you have your artwork on any other
platform, you'll have to bring all necessary hardware with you. If there
will be enough interest in any other competition that is not described
below we will make additional compos!
There will also be special Hacking contest. There will be a Linux machine
on the network waiting to be hacked, and its security will be loosened
every now and then until someone hacks it.
Every member can participate with ONE artwork in each competition.
In demo competition every group can have as many entries as it wants.
Entries must not be shown on any other party/competition before Abort.
Anything received after the deadline won't be competing, but it will be
shown. There will be a deadline countdown!
If there won't be enough entries for the competition, they will be shown
/played, but they won't compete!
If there will be too many entries in a competition, organizers will make
a pre-selection to lower the number of entries to reasonable amount. We will
do that the best way we can but nobody is perfect. (preselection is expected
in music competition)
You'll have the opportunity to test your demo TWO TIMES on compo computer. But
don't come just before deadline!
By competing in any of Abort2k competitions you agree that WITHOUT your
written permission the following is true:
Your artwork contributed to Abort2k is free for distribution over all types of
media as long as it hasn't been changed in any way.
Your artwork contributed to Abort2k can be used by LUGOS for promotional use
in sense of Internet, BBSes and CD-release distributions even if a
distribution fee is charged for the CD-release.
Your artwork contributed to Abort2k can be publicly shown at any time
during the event and post-event promotions.
Naturally, the copyright will remain fully yours!
With these rules we will be able to promote the party properly!
Also the organizers have the right to remove any entry from the competition
if they think it is not suitable.

9. HOW TO GET TO THE PARTY PLACE
Scanned pictures of Ljubljana/Center (Gospodarsko Razstavisce, main train
station, main bus station, main streets) can be found at this URL:
http://www.abort2000.org/map.gif
Party place is only about 600m away from main train/bus station.
If your are arriving to that station, we can send someone there and he'll
guide you to the party place (contact us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] for
this option)
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
10. FOOD, DRINKS & SLEEP
There are restaurants 50m away from the Abort2000 camp, also NON-STOP
fast food is located near the entrance gates.
We will still try to make food and non-alcoholic drinks available all the
time at the camp itself, however we can't guarantee you that.
Alcoholic drinks, drugs & smoking in the camp hall will be strictly forbidden.
If anyone should need anything else gas station with non-stop store is
located 500m away.
There will be space to sleep at the camp hall itself, we hope to manage
to get it a bit separated from the main camp, so there won't be 6000W sound
system just above your head when you'll try to catch some sleep. All you
need are sleeping bags.
Unfortunately showers won't be available.
