 1. Assigning booths

    I've finally managed to assign space to all booths, in the hope
    that I took care of all space requirements.  Please find the
    current map of all projects at the following URL.  There will be
    six different pavillons, hosting two or more projects.  To give
    you a better view of the size of each booth, I've added dots to
    the graphic.  The distance between two dots is one meter.

    When I've written "booth" expect another booth on that side.
    When I've written "wall" expect a wall on that side.
    Also expect a wall to be between two booths, except where I
    haven't placed a line (i.e. between Gnome and GIMP and between JLA
    and the booths in 5.0.434.1.  The other sides of the booth should
    be open.

    Note: Some people already knew this url, some things have changed
    since you last viewed it.

 2. Storerooms

    There are three storerooms which are dedicated to all projects.
    These areas don't have dots, so you should be able to detect them
    easily.  Please use them to store your stuff like bags, coats,
    superflous shoes and computers etc. so the booth will look
    cleaner.

    They can be entered through these booths: Debian, Linux-Audio and
    Linux User Groups.  The doors will have locks so they can be
    locked during the night.  One of the booth staff will get the key.

 3. Supplies for the booth

    This year I've got a little bit more time before equipment has to
    be ordered.  Unfortunately I've used the time to assign the booth
    and now there is not much time left.  (Note to self: next year
    pester officials about deadlines much more).

    However, I've created a list of possible equipment that we can use
    for the booth.  Please pick up the things that you would like to
    use at the booth.  And, sorry, please hurry up with selecting
    them.

    Please be careful with ordering tables, there should not be more
    tables than there is space at the walls in the booth.  I've added
    size information to all supplies, if I was able to discover them.

 4. Arrival via plane

    We will have a shuttle service between the exhibition and the
    airport on the 4th and 5th of July and on the 8th and 9th.  If you
    want to be picked up from the airport or taken to it, please tell
    me your flight details (date+time of arrival, flight nr, next/last
    airport) and I'll add you to my list.

 5. Arrival via train

    If you will arrive by train, take the subway U7 driving into
    direction "Messe/Killesberg".  The last station is Stuttgart Fair
    where you should be able to get into the exhibition area.

 6. Computers on tables

    Last year we ran into big trouble after the show when the company
    came to pick up their tables.  They had to find out that most of
    them were scratched.

    While I don't want to instruct you how to set up the booth I'd
    like to urge you to use table cloths ("Tischdecken"), cardboards
    or some plastic stuff between metal stuff and the tables.  Apart
    from keeping tables unscratched table cloths would make the booth
    look little more professional and hide whatever you place below
    the tables.

 7. Social Event

    We will have a social event to which all exhibitors are invited to
    attend.  Those of you who knew last year's social event may be a
    little bit surprised, since it will be different.  Enjoy it.

    It has been acknowledged that we will get a special price of DM 30
    (instead of EUR 30).  The tickets can be purchased during the
    exhibition and the days before by Dennis Daniel at the LinuxTag
    office.  It's possible that he's going walk around the exhibition
    and visit the pavillons.  He did that last year, only to confuse
    my plans, I'm pretty sure.

    You will be granted the reduced fee if your name is listed on the
    list of staff for the Projects Pavillons or he is able to draw a
    line between you and a known project.  Thus it's much more secure
    if your name is on the list.  Thus the best way is to tell me who
    will staff the booth, if you haven't done already.

    The Social Event will take place on Friday at 18.15 at the lobby
    at entrance south.  There will be something to eat, to drink and a
    band, and maybe something surprising. :)

 8. Accommodation

    For those of you who will stay at the gym hall, the FaVeVe folks
    have compiled some questions and answers (only in German, sorry,
    bug them, not me) regarding the accommodati at Nili's.  More at:
