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.

I for my part will not do a Linux FlightGear talk since I have little experience with Linux and am too little involved in FlightGear. Last year I expected I would become more active, but now I know that I will never become one of the main developers. Alex, Christian, Erik? Durk, AFAIK, you will not be in europe then? I don't knwo if I can make it then. The next few months will be full of uncertainties. If all goes well I might get a new job at the National Aerospace loboratory here in The Netherlands. That would mean I have to move to another part of th country. So no promisses from me here.

BTW, Alex, will you be at LinuxTag? I'm tempted to have one of the non-European developers as the lead presenter (and then beg assistance with travel) if someone has the time and interest. Good point - I did not want to exclude the non-europeans with my list. I am sure that apart from your own talk you will also enjoy the other talks and the show very much. If we do that, it's important that the presentation topic is one that can be given by a European dev should the travel intent hit a last minute problem. Well, I will certainly be at the fair. Two years ago, when I was there as visitor, it was *very* interesting. Also, while my Linux endavours have further declined lately, I am still very active and interested in open source.

Generally, they prefer to have different presenters in successive years for each project because that makes the talks more interesting. Having successfully excused myself from consideration 8-) ... That leaves Christian and Erik on that shortlist ... ? Sorry, but I won't give a speach. But (time permitting; I'm quite confident that it does) I'll be happy to help with the booth.
