1. Booth Assignments - Very urgent

I am forced to make final assignments of space and booths soon (really soon, it should have been done by last Friday but nobody told me, well...).

Hence, I request your vision of the booth at LinuxTag 2002.

I'm going to base the assignments and calculations on what you have told me that you wish to demonstrate at your booth during LinuxTag. Hence, if you haven't sent me your vision for LinuxTag and your booth yet, please do so as soon as possible (really ASAP, better tonight than tomorrow). Please either drop me a mail or add it as comment to the database system. This request does not include the following projects: Wine, Fresco, Squeak, Window-Maker and Japan Linux Association.

As a rule of thumb: The booths won't be overly large and we will have only a limited amount of furniture this year. Also furniture can only picked out of a limited variety, i.e. not as much different things as last year. I expect regular tables and chairs. I hope to be able to provide a glas show-case for both PDA projects. I'll also have a limited amount of 1-PC-tables ("Infopoints"), so better think about alternative plans if you would like to use them. I don't have a list handy, so I can't answer detail questions.

2. Sleeping in the Gym Hall

There are updates available about the gymn hall, in which you may stay during LinuxTag. We are able to use this facility from Wednesday to Monday, but only during the night (22h-9h). The hall will be used for regular sport activities during the day (just as last year, if you remember that). However, all of your stuff can be locked away in a dedicated room. As for every gym hall, there are showers. Please keep in mind that there is no way to get to the room during the day. If you need to talk to the people from KaLUG, they will most likely be at the Internet Café at LinuxTag.

Registration for the gym hall is organized through LTP[1] for which you should have received an account already (if not, please contact the project admin or me). Please enter "Stadion" into the field "Nightplace". People from KaLUG[2] will be providing breakfast for you (including coffee, tea, orange juice, freshly baked rolls etc.) for about EUR 3/breakfast. Please mark this in the form if you want to participate so we can calculate the amount of breakfast ingredients.

Details are listed here[3] (German only, sorry). The gym hall is called "Altes Station" and is located in the middle of the university campus in the city. It's about 25 minutes per pedes from the exbhitition, and has a gratis parking facility 5-10 minutes to it. You should try to park your cars there, since parking at the exhibition is expensive.

3. Party

A party for you is planned on Saturday evening outside of the gym hall, including a barbeque (pay per piece), music and movies. All projects people and supporters are invited to attend.

4. Arriving

LinuxTag draws near and we are looking forward to welcoming you in about three weeks. Let me give you some final information about how to get to Karlsruhe. We have prepared some general information about how to get there by car, train and plane here[4].

5. iCafé - Internet Café

We will have an Internet Café at the foyer of the exhibition area. However, it is meant as service to normal visitors. Therefore, I'd like to ask you not to use it for reading mail etc. during the day since you would lock a chair and a machine a visitor could use otherwise.

You are, however, invited to help visitors and demonstrate stuff, so they will leave LinuxTag thinking "Wow, what an event". :)

6. Setting up the booth

General setup time is Tuesday and Wednesday for the entire day and evening. Professionals often start at 6am or something. Your projects booths should be ready by Wednesday at noontime and can be set up until 8pm. It should be readily set up on Thursday morning, though.

If you need to carry large machines for which you require more time, please let me know so I can try to increase the pressure on the people who set the booths up to finish one booth earlier.

You normally won't be able to drive into the exhibition hall by car, though. If available, please take all your trolleys and similar vehicles with you if you don't want to carry your stuff (like the ol' 21" monitor) by hand. However, for large machines there is a possibility to get into the hall by car, details will be added to the FAQ as soon as I have received everything.

Regards,

Joey
