1. Status
To be honest, I don't know, I'm swamped.
2. Booths and Tables
I was told that tables are 120x80 cm*cm, thus they use more space
inside of a booth than I thought. Since I know that most projects
will upload as much computers as they can carry I already changed
the original idea - that meant 2 tables per booth - and ordered
3-4 tables per booth.
However, since tables are larger now, there is no space for chairs
anymore. Exception: Gnome and Pro-Linux.
I'll try to put an updated map, including tables, on the web soon.
(If s/o has free time, I can send him the fax + xfig source to
work on).
3. Dies Academicus and "Day of Open Door"
There are two universities in Stuttgart. The University of
Hohenheim performs their Dies Academicus on Friday, 30th of June.
There's a University Exhibition. The Concert Band will have a
booth there and play music. If somebody is interested, for
details contact Egon Schmid <eschmid@php.net>.
The University of Stuttgart (where some sleeping commodation are
located) performs their "Day of Open Door" (dunno what that is in
en_EN), with general exhibitions etc. on Saturday, July 1st. From
12 o'clock they have a 'summer festival' on the campus
Pfaffenwald. Program http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/TdoT. Contact:
Marc Schimmler <schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de>.
4. Logo Images
Some of you have submitted logos that are larger than the required
size. These cannot be accepted by us since they break the layout
and it's unfair if some projects have larger logos.
Thus: If you have submitted an image too large, please correct it
asap. The earlier it is corrected, the earlier they appear on the
website.
5. Arrival and Unloading
There are possibilities on Tuesday and Wednesday to drive to the
exhibition area by car in order ot unload stuff. I guess they
will charge a fee but you'll get it back after you have left the
area. This is not valid on Thursday when the show is active.
6. Workshop Program
I have received some requests for talks as part of the workshop
program. This was compiled into the following list:

The remaining slots are open and may be used for BoF sessions
during the show. I will move a blackboard or whiteboard next to
the door so people can "lock" a slot and look what's going on
there. I'll also prepare that list to be released at the web
during the next days.
7. Sleeping Space
I only need a rough guess how many people from each project need a
place to stay. I have counted 120 booth members and 51 for
sleeping space - to be honest, I doubt that less than 50% want to
make use of the rooms we've organized.
Thus I'd like to request a rough number of people from each
project who will use our sleeping space.
8. Questions
When in doubt, please get in touch me.
