1. Booth Map
Some of you already noticed that I put a map of our booths online. Unfortunately most of them were only temporary versions on which we had to continue to work on. However, I wholeheartly hope that the current version is the final version as well. If you have any further questions concerning your booth, please drop me a line or call me at +49 721 3720 4224.
2. Hacking Area
This year we will be able to use the unused part of the exhibition hall again for off-site hacking and stuff. The unused area is located above of the booths F5, F21+G12+G13 and G17+G21+G31. Network and power can be exported from those booths.
However, I don't think that there will be much more tables and chairs left over after all projects booths are equipped properly. Hence, if you don't want to sit on the floor, it would be a good idea to take some camping chairs or something with you.
3. Garbage
We will provide you with garbage bags in our office. Please drop by if you need additional garbage bags. Please drop them at the booth in the back area so that visitors are not offended by a dirty booth with garbage. You can get as much bags as you need, so you don't have to clutter the booth with garbage.
It would help us a big if you could move filled up bags to a garbage container on your own when the exhibition closes at the end of the day. On the way back, just drop by at the office for new bags.
4. Social Event
Contrary to what I wrote in my last mail, the social event will not take place in the substage location but in lower floor of the Stadthalle, where the conference takes place. The price stays the same, though. Those who are listed as staff will be able to use reduced fees (€ 15.00). For everybody else the price will be € 25.00. The tickets can be fetched in our office above the Gartenhalle.
5. Setting up the booth
The exhibition center will be open for the entire Tuesday and Wednesday, so you can arrrive at any time to fill the booth with your equipment. The hall will be open until 10p.m. at least.
6. Booth furniture
Tables and chairs for the booths will arrive on Wednesday. The booths will most probably be set up on Tuesday already. If you want tables look more professional, you should use some sort of table clothes for them. That'll also reduce chances of damaging the tables with sharp computer pieces. Some people suggested blue cotton stuff, others suggested white table clothes.
I still have a few computer desks. If a project would like to use one of them, please drop me a line. The projects that already have one assigned, are informed.
7. Power and Network
Please take enough power cords and switches with you. The same applies to network equipment, please take enough patch cables with you. To wire booths locally (both inside a booth and to connect two booths) you'll need long cables.
8. Pictures / Photos
If you take pictures taken at LinuxTag please let me know the location of your gallery so I can add it to the pictures page, just like last year.
