Hallo zusammen,
untenstehend ein paar Infos zum LinuxTag in Wiesbaden.
Schon mal jetzt die vorsichtige Frage: Wer von euch wird denn dabei
sein? Wir müssten uns dann mal wieder frühzeitig die Gedanken machen, ob
wir ähnlich wie im letzten Jahr einen Workshop o.ä. anbieten wollen.
Gruß,
Jacqueline

Dear Project,
with this mailing we would like to inform you about:
o Entry-Fees
o Exhibitor Passes
o eTickets for Projects
o Web-Banners
o Workshops
o Sleeping
o Booth Plans
o Advertising at Boots sponsored by LinuxTag
1. Entry Fees/Exhibitor Passes
Like last year LinuxTag will cost entrance fees for most visitors. The
prices (one day 15 EUR, two days 25 EUR, three days 35 EUR, all days 45
EUR) are listed on the LinuxTag site [1]. You can get the tickets much
cheaper in the advance sales programm for 5 EUR per one-day ticket plus
5 EUR handling fee regardless how many tickets you buy. So maybe your
local user group, club or regular's table wants to start a centralized
buying.
The exhibitor passes for project booth members will continue to be free
of cost for a reasonable amount of booth personnel. However, they are
not meant as a means for regular visitors to save the entrance-fee.
Hence, please don't abuse this and don't add random visitors as booth
staff if they don't belong to your booth. We will update the vCC soon to
enter the names for the exhibitor passes.
2. eTickets for Projects
Yesterday, LinuxTag e. V. opened its eTicket System to the public with
an intital seed of 50 persons. Within next weeks we will give away 5.000
one-day passes to all users of this system. Since registration is
already closed, you have to to get invited to participate on it.
From this amount, 2.000 tickets are exclusively reserved for accepted
projects, so they can invite guests to their booth at LinuxTag. It is on
your own to decide how you distribute your eTickets, but we would like
to ask you to tell us at the projects-discussion mailing list. We will
inform you in a separate mail, how many tickets your project will get.
3. Banners for your Website
We have created a set of images which you could add to your site. Adding
a link to the LinuxTag website is always appreciated and helps us since
visitors of your site can get more information about the event. However,
we don't want to enforce this. Feel free to select one to add it to your
own website [3]
4. Workshops
Similar to the years before we will offer you so called "Workshop
Rooms". Our plan is to jointly organise a "projects to projects
program" or "developer to developer program". For this purpose, there
will be available two or three rooms on Friday, and five rooms on
Saturday, all with a capacity of about 50 seats. This year the schedule
will be published on LinuxTag's website, so the schedule will be
announced more widely.
The main purpose for these rooms is to provide attending projects an
opportunity to talk to other developers (not necessarily from the same
project) and to go into detail for a larger group than what would be
possible at the booth. Please note: all workshops will be open to the
public and will be announced so. In special cases we can make an
exception, but we would like to discuss this in detail with you, if you
think a session should be non-public.
LinuxTag provides presentation equipment and probably Internet
connectivity for all five rooms. You can register for a workshop using
your VCC-account [4] and submit it like a paper using category "Project
Workshop". Normally a slot is 60 Minutes, if your workshop takes longer
leave us a note within your abstract. Also do so, if you have a
preference for Friday or Saturday.
You can neglect the licence because it is not planned to distribute your
submission (like a paper for the conference program). But please do not
forget to choose the language for your workshop submission. English may
be your language of choice, but it is a valuable information for an
interested visitor.
Please register as soon as possible.
5. Sleeping
We are still looking for a cheap sleeping place like the AKK. If
everything goes well we will have a gym for about 200 people. Actually
we are negotiating with officials from Wiesbaden to clarify terms of usage.
6. Booth Plans
According to the information about equipment, personnel and the planned
exhibition we are assigning booths to projects. You will get a detailed
information about booth position and size within next days.
7. Advertisement at Sponsored Booths
For LinuxTag organization it gets harder to decide for some projects
whether it will get a booth (sponsored by LinuxTag) or we have to charge
them for it because of its strong commercial background. This decision
is not easy to make and differs in each case, but we try to make it fair
for everybody.
Therefore we have to insist on a special agreement with the projects
exhibiting at a booth free of charge: advertising for associated
companies is not allowed at project booths sponsored by LinuxTag!
It is not allowed to display brochures or price lists or hang-up posters
for affiliated companies. Of course you can still present your projects
flyers, brochures, DVDs or other promotional material with logos from
sponsors.
If your company wants to get promoted at your project booth, please
encourage it to contact us for information about sponsoring options.
Several companies already used this option to advertise at affiliated
project booths.
If you have any questions about advertising at your booth feel free to
contact us.
Thank you for your patience!
