LinuxTag 2001 July 5th - 8th, 2001 Stuttgart, Germany

Infomail #2 -- Urgent issues -- May 1st, 2001

1. A place for the night
   URGENT

   As some of you know from last year's event, I'm trying to acquire a place where as many of you can stay gratis as possible. From my own experience such a thing helps not to overstress ones own pocket.

   However, since we can't organize the LinuxTag at a university anymore, we only have very limited access to additional rooms. As another result the place for the night won't be directly at the fair ground but somewhere else in the city - if we should be able to acquire one.

   In order to make proper assumptions and to tell others how many and who wants to stay there, I'd like to ask everybody who wants to attend the show and who would like to use this potential offer to drop me a line. This request is *urgent*. We already missed one possibility since they requiered an exact list on Monday (May 30th).

2. Exhibition Newspaper
   URGENT

   We are happy to cooperate with Linux computing, a Linux-oriented computer newspaper from Germany. The folks from LC are going to produce an exhibition magazine that covers all exhibitors, talks etc.

   It will contain a list of all projects that are present at the exhibition (and who have signed up early enough - that's the problem, read on). As far as I can tell, one or two A4 pages are reserved for the projects, thus for you. Each project is able to submit the following information:
   . Name (I have that already)
   . URL (I have it already)
   --> Description: 1-2 sentences (your job)
   --> Logo (EPS or TIFF), high resolution (your job)

   For some reasons they have to produce that magazine quite early, which means that I have to provide final data on **May 20th**

   There are some logos available from last year's LinuxTag. They only have a low resolution but would probably be better than nothing. Unfortunately there seems to be no easy way to extract them out of the database and I do lack severe amounts of time at the moment. If somebody has some time to share, I'd appreciate a .tgz file with all logos from last year stored.
