OK, I will also have my laptop there. The GAIA equipment is a complete, 
transportable setup for trainings. We'll put it up  there and use 
whatever we need.

Latest news: there WILL be a backbone.

Don't worry. I am in direct contact with Martin Schulze (Joey -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) who is in charge of the open sorce part of the LINUX 
TAG. And Lucia will keep in touch as long as I am on vacation (21 - 
30.6)

Update: The beamer issue is getting difficult. I may only get one for 
the weekend and ONLY if no one else can provide it. So it's better if 
someone else (LINK-M? Torben? Philipp?) could take care of this.
MEanwhile, I would really recommend having a beamer as it is a much 
much better way of presenting to a larger audience than people standing 
around monitors.

Hmm, don't rely on this. I know from other fairs that the booths are 
normally only opened for installation. They close the whole site later 
in the eveneing -  for security reasons.

Yep; I heard that you will also be in Esslingen. It looks as if 
Emiliano will stay at my place. Who else is coming from abroard?

> Cool.  We should probably try to arrange a loose schedule.  

Yep, I agree. Plenty of people.

I'lle try to get some layout plan from Joey.

About the flyers: some german NADMIN stuff from Gottfried would be 
great! Mind the recoommended amount (between 500 and 5000 - well, 500 
would be enough). 
But we also need sa more "basic" flyer: What is MIDGARD? How does it 
work? What is a CMS? Why should I use a CMS? Why should I use an Open 
Source CMS instead of a 200 Kilo-Euro commercial solution? And so on, 
in simple words ...  Keep in mind that the audience are mainly NO 
"hard-core Linux/PHP/MySQL coders". And especially the biz people 
simply want to get impressed and just know what is possible with 
MIDGARD.

Well, I can translate anything that I can get by mail until Wed 
evening.
