LinuxTag 2007: booth and debian day(s)

Hi,

just to inform you, that the CfPro for this year's LinuxTag has startet
recently.

Beneath a participation at the exhibtion, I hope that we can organize
together a Debian centric workshop track (Debian Day). Therefore we have
already added a new Paper Category 'Debian Day' to LinuxTag's Virtual
Conference Center. You can find details for submitting workshops
attached to this mail.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Cheers,
Marko

Dear Project,

with this mailing we would like to inform you about:
  o Call for Projects
  o Project Workshops

1. Call for Projects

Today we start the official 'Call for Projects' to exhibit at the
13th LinuxTag, May 30 - June 3, 2007 at Messegelände unter dem Funkturm,
Berlin, Germany. Detailed information can be found at LinuxTag's website
[1]. Please take a look at our terms and read the FAQ. (An English
translation of the FAQ will be provided soon.)

The project committee has a very hard job to decide for some projects
whether they will get a booth (sponsored by LinuxTag) or we have to
charge them for it because of its strong commercial background. This
decision is not easy to make and differs in each case, but we try to
make it fair for everybody. Therefore we have updated the Virtual
Conference Center [2] with some new questions concerning your projects
contributors and community. By providing us as much information as
possible, you can help us to ensure that only non-commercial projects
can benefit from the sponsored booths.

You should submit your application as soon as possible, because first
application round ends February 23, 2007.

2. Project Workshops

We would like to remember you not to forget to register for project
workshops. Similar to the years before we will offer you so called
"Workshop Rooms". Our plan is to jointly organise a "projects to
projects program" or "developer to developer program". As last year the
schedule will be published on LinuxTag's website, so the schedule will
be announced more widely.

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. Please note: all workshops will be open to the
public and will be announced so. In special cases we can make an
exception, but we would like to discuss this in detail with you, if you
think a session should be non-public. LinuxTag provides presentation
equipment and probably Internet connectivity for all five rooms. You can
register for a workshop using your VCC-account and submit it like a
paper using category "Project Workshop". Normally a slot is 60 Minutes,
if your workshop takes longer leave us a note within your abstract. Also
do so, if you have a preference for the day.

You can neglect the licence because it is not planned to distribute your
submission (like a paper for the conference program). But please do not
forget to choose the language for your workshop submission. English may
be your language of choice, but it is a valuable information for an
interested visitor.

Please register as soon as possible.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us.

Regards,

Susanne Pfeifer, Wolfgang Drotschmann, Marko Jung & Martin Schulte
