1. Workshops and Beamers
Similar to the years before we have the opportunity to use two so called workshop rooms for a projects to projects or developer to developer program. We can use both rooms that should have place for 50-80 people during all four days. Currently there are many free slots on all days so you can still register a talk, workshop, bof session etc. on any day.
The main purpose for these rooms is to provide attending projects an opportunity to talk to other developers (not necessarily from the same project) and to go into detail for a larger group than what would be possible at the booth. This year it is even planned to import the schedule on www.linuxtag.org, so the schedule will be announced more widely.
However, we have gotton the rooms as they are, which means that there will be chairs and a silver screen inside, but no video projector (beamer) and probably no internet connection. We may get access to the internet via WLAN, though.
With regards to the video projector we need your help. Two projectors are needed for the entire time. They will be locked away in the LinuxTag office during the night and somebody will watch it during the day when they are moderating the talks. If you can offer one or two video projectors for these rooms, please let me know.
2. Descriptions
Still not all projects have written a description for the project they want to demonstrate during LinuxTag. Without a description and without booth plans, there won't be a booth. Also, we cannot mention such projects in printed documentation. Although the deadline for the exhibition journal has passed already, there are still other publications where exhibiting projects will be listed.
Please fix this if you haven't done so already. As a general rule, without a description your project won't be listed in the online listing.
3. Sleeping / AKK
Kudos to the KaLUG we are able to use the AKK again to provide crash space for geeks. In order to calculate the space properly and since only a limited number of people can sleep there, we need to organise this a bit.
Hence, please write "AKK" as Nightspace when you want to stay in the AKK. Currently there are some developers who haven't entered anything in this field yet.
