Infomail #6 -- Booth Assignments, Arrival, Social Event -- June 21th, 2001
Since there are only 14 days left until LinuxTag starts quite some people are already paniking...
- Assigning booths
I've finally managed to assign space to all booths, in the hope that I took care of all space requirements. Please find the current map of all projects at the following URL. There will be six different pavillons, hosting two or more projects. To give you a better view of the size of each booth, I've added dots to the graphic. The distance between two dots is one meter.
When I've written "booth" expect another booth on that side. When I've written "wall" expect a wall on that side. Also expect a wall to be between two booths, except where I haven't placed a line (i.e. between Gnome and GIMP and between JLA and the booths in 5.0.434.1. The other sides of the booth should be open.
Note: Some people already knew this url, some things have changed since you last viewed it.
- Storerooms
There are three storerooms which are dedicated to all projects. These areas don't have dots, so you should be able to detect them easily. Please use them to store your stuff like bags, coats, superflous shoes and computers etc. so the booth will look cleaner.
They can be entered through these booths: Debian, Linux-Audio and Linux User Groups. The doors will have locks so they can be locked during the night. One of the booth staff will get the key.
- Supplies for the booth
This year I've got a little bit more time before equipment has to be ordered. Unfortunately I've used the time to assign the booth and now there is not much time left. (Note to self: next year pester officials about deadlines much more).
However, I've created a list of possible equipment that we can use for the booth. Please pick up the things that you would like to use at the booth. And, sorry, please hurry up with selecting them.
Please be careful with ordering tables, there should not be more tables than there is space at the walls in the booth. I've added size information to all supplies, if I was able to discover them.
- Arrival via plane
We will have a shuttle service between the exhibition and the airport on the 4th and 5th of July and on the 8th and 9th. If you want to be picked up from the airport or taken to it, please tell me your flight details (date+time of arrival, flight nr, next/last airport) and I'll add you to my list.
- Arrival via train
If you will arrive by train, take the subway U7 driving into direction "Messe/Killesberg". The last station is Stuttgart Fair where you should be able to get into the exhibition area.
- Computers on tables
Last year we ran into big trouble after the show when the company came to pick up their tables. They had to find out that most of them were scratched.
While I don't want to instruct you how to set up the booth I'd like to urge you to use table cloths ("Tischdecken"), cardboards or some plastic stuff between metal stuff and the tables. Apart from keeping tables unscratched table cloths would make the booth look little more professional and hide whatever you place below the tables.
- Social Event
We will have a social event to which all exhibitors are invited to attend. Those of you who knew last year's social event may be a little bit surprised, since it will be different. Enjoy it.
It has been acknowledged that we will get a special price of DM 30 (instead of EUR 30). The tickets can be purchased during the exhibition and the days before by Dennis Daniel at the LinuxTag office. It's possible that he's going walk around the exhibition and visit the pavillons. He did that last year, only to confuse my plans, I'm pretty sure.
You will be granted the reduced fee if your name is listed on the list of staff for the Projects Pavillons or he is able to draw a line between you and a known project. Thus it's much more secure if your name is on the list. Thus the best way is to tell me who will staff the booth, if you haven't done already.
The Social Event will take place on Friday at 18.15 at the lobby at entrance south. There will be something to eat, to drink and a band, and maybe something surprising. :)
- Accommodation
For those of you who will stay at the gym hall, the FaVeVe folks have compiled some questions and answers (only in German, sorry, bug them, not me) regarding the accommodati at Nili's.
