1. LinuxTag 2003 is starting soon...
Welcome everybody! In less than two months the show is over already, which means that there's a lot of work to do if we want to produce a successful event this year again. Organisation started early this year, but only now I'm sending out the first general letter.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. However, if possible I will point to the FAQ which should already contain most of the information you'll need. You'll find additional information at <http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2003/>. Don't worry about the Debian part, this directory is just a collection for both general and Debian related organisation.
2. Descriptions and Logos
In the projects frontend at <http://www.infodrom.org/LinuxTag/>, you are able to edit the description for your project, both in English and German. You should at least add a German description there, since that's the main source that is publically visible (see the projects listing).
Additionally I can confirm that the exhibition journal will cover the projects pavillon as well. Each project will be listed with a short description (max. 650 characters) and its logo. I'll have to provide the texts soon. In order to produce good descriptions, please provide a description of your project (max. 1000 characters) through the web frontend or via mail. You may take up the full space since this time there is a lot of room reserved for the description in the journal. I'll need to have those descriptions on May 28th.
Each project can also submit a logo for the project. I already have logos for Linux-Audio, Debian, FSFE, GNOME, KDE, Krypto, PHP and VRML. For all other projects I require a new logo. Please send it via mail in a resolution as high as you can get, and don't use JPEG because of it's lossy compression. PS, TIFF and PNG are fine formats. The BSD logo was broken last year, so BSD people, please send a new one. I'll need these logos until May 29th.
3. Sleeping Space in the Gym Hall
I am happy to announce that this year again it is possible to stay at the gym hall named AKK with other project members during the nights if you don't want to go into a hotel. Please mark your entry in the projects interface if you want to stay there, so that we can calculate. Please use AKK for the name of the sleeping place if you want to stay in the gym hall. It is not yet clear how much breakfast will cost, but it's probably something like 1-3 € per day.
4. Workshops
Just like last year we have the opportunity to use two workshop rooms that offer space for about 50 people. If you want to give a talk for organize a Birds of a Feather session, just drop me a line and I'll reserve the room for you. At the moment, these rooms don't have a beamer yet, so I'm in need of two beamers for them. If you should be able to bring one with you, please let me know.
5. Booth Furniture
We will provide conference tables and chairs just like last year. It would be a good idea to take white table clothes (paper should even be sufficient) with you to enhance the visitors' impression.
6. Posters and Flyers
We would like to advertise LinuxTag as much as we can and hence use flyers and posters as much as possible. Therefore we would like to ask you whether you are able to decorate walls at your university and computer stores in your near environment with posters and add flyers to computer stores etc.
If you would like to help us advertise LinuxTag, please drop me a line with the number of flyers and posters you think that you could use and I'll get them sent to you.
