1. Booths are Ready
Good news, all booths are already built, furniture should be
delivered tomorrow or Wednesday. Due to architectural requirements
some more walls than expected are built. I've updated the <a
href="http://luonnotar.infodrom.org/~joey/map.eps">map</a> to reflect
the current situation. Hope this finds you approval.
2. Litter
I have finally found out how litter removal is to be handled during
this exhibition. There will be a daily cleaning run for the entire
exhibition. We will hand you litter bags daily. Please use them and
put them outside of your booth at the evening. The cleaning team
will pick them up and remove them. If you need more bags, please
stop by at our office.
3. Rented Furniture
Please handle the furniture of your booths carefully. It is rented,
and the company where we got it from will be mondo pissed if there
are scratches all over. For machines and monitors without rubber
feet please use some stacked paper as unterground for the machines.
4. Exhibition Network
We are going to have a network for projects booths. However, as
usual we may run into problems with long distances within the booth,
so you'd better take all long cables with you. You should, of
course, also take enough short cables with you so you can connect
your machines to the switch in question. I was asked to ask you to
take a 30m cable with your, for each project. Well, please check
what you can arrange. Additionally, please take all your switches
and hubs with you in order to serve the network inside of your booth.
5. Keysigning
Marc Mutz is organising a Keysigning Party. It is scheduled to take
place on Friday in room R 2.05, 17:00-18:00. Here is what he wrote
me:
<p>Judging from last year, we expect more than 50 people coming
there, so a bit of organization might be in order. To this end, you
might want to send the output of
<p>gpg --with-fingerprint --list-keys <your key>
<p>to Marc Mutz <mutz@kde.org>. Please include the string LT2002-PGP
in the subject. Marc will compile a sheet of paper with the collected
fingerprints and hand them out in the session. Then, everyone only
needs to show his credentials (passport, driver's license, visa photo
card) and read his fingerprint out loud. Everyone else just checks
the fingerprint against his copy of the sheet and the time needed is
instantly reduced from O(n^2) to O(n) ;-)
<p>Please also note that the German Heise Verlag will have a booth on
LinuxTag again, taking OpenPGP keys for signing. You have to send
them your key before LT (pgpCA@ct.heise.de, IIRC) or give it to them
on a floppy on LinuxTag. You need to go to their booth, show your
passport and sign a sheet of paper with your fingerprint on and
that's basically it. This is esp. interesing for people from
Germany, since getting your key singed by Heise makes it verifyable
to every German bothered enough to go to the next kiosk and check
Heise's fingerprint against the one printed in every issue of c't.
Regards,
Joey
