Infomail #2, March 31, 2006

Dear Project,

with this mailing we would like to inform you about:

1. Conference Schedule

Since yesterday nearly the whole schedule for all conferences and talks are available at our website. Now we can concentrate on planing the project workshops and project booths. If nothing goes wrong you will get an email with your booth number and booth size until next Tuesday.

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". For this purpose, there will be available two or three rooms on Friday, and five rooms on Saturday, all with a capacity of about 50 seats. This 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 Friday or Saturday.

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.

Regards,
Wolfgang Drotschmann, Marko Jung, Martin Schulte
