1. Wavelan Planning: Access Points
Our Wavelan expert anticipates problems when you hook your own WLAN access point to the network. Therefore, I'd like to ask and urge you not to do this without prior negotiation with Henning Wackernagel, who is reachable through our office at the LinuxTag.
If you have an access point of your own that you would like to drive during LinuxTag, in order to help gate the booth lan into the wlan and/or to improve wlan accessability, please come to our office first and talk to Henning.
2. Wavelan Planning: Gateway
If your project anticipates problems or is unable to to connect the booth lan to the exhibition wlan, please get in touch with me so we can discuss the problems with Henning and fix them before LinuxTag, which should save us a lot of grief and pain next month.
Also, if you are unable to connect your booth lan to the exhibition wlan due to missing equipment, please also drop me a line so we can see if Henning can acquire backup machines for this task.
3. Press Releases
I have been told that LinuxTag is able to publish press releases and use their channels for some projects if you have important news to announce. Proper news for such press releases would be "Debian 3.1 released" or something similar or less ground-breaking. If you believe that you would like to use this service, please get in touch with Joey for details before the event.
4. Organisation of Lifts
Since I've seen questions from people looking for a lift to/from LinuxTag with or without computer cargo, I guess that I should information about the organisation of shared lifts. Some people are even going to Karlsruhe daily (they live less than 100km near by). If you are looking for others to carry with you or if you are looking for somebody who can give you and your equipment a lift, it may be worth looking at and writing to the FahrGemeinschaften Wiki page.
5. Social Event
Finally, it has been sorted out where the social event will take place an what it will cost. This year's social event, which is usually a quite amazing mixture of suits and shirts, will take place in the substage, a closed underground crossing. For booth staff the price per ticket is € 15, for regular visitors and non-project staff the price per ticket is € 25. The ticket includes some food and regular fluids (non-alcoholic, beer, wine).
All people who are registrated to the system can use the reduced fee. If you are interested in attending, please mark the option field for social event in your personal data (Edit person). When you arrive at LinuxTag, please drop by at the office where you can pay and fetch the tickets from my collegues or me.
