Good morning! Some news what we accomplished during the last conferences here in germany (a more detailed report will follow, I'm still a bit exhausted): about LinuxWorld Expo 2004 Frankfurt: - as usual you could recognize our booth simply it was the most crowded one - we answered many questions, showed visitors many tricks, and sold some merchandising stuff - although my .Org-Session was at 6pm, nearly 30 people attended my talk about sarge (while I expected less than 10 at this late hour) - we made some nice and funny pictures - one of our subprojects / custom Debian distribution one a price: Debian-Edu / Skolelinux one the Linux New Media award 2005 as best newcomer distribution about LinuxWorld Expo 2005: - We will get a bigger booth (perhaps 15 squaremeters) - organization of the .Org pavillion (where the free projects are) will be done in cooperation with Thomas Templin from the FSF Europe and (sigh) me - next year it will be from 15th to 17th of November about CeBIT 2005: - We will have a bigger booth (8-12 square meter, perhaps more) - it will be our very own booth; in the last years we were guests at the booth of LinuxLand - again we will be in the LinuxPark, but not very near to the LinuxForum, where the talks will be held - we had a nice idea about give away DVDs; it's to early to tell details, but if everything works out, as we hope, we will have a DVD, outshining this years LinuxTag DVD - we already got some offers for hardware to show at CeBIT - we might get quite cheap accomodations - since we are not allowed to sell merchandising, Hannover is a quite expensive place during CeBIT, and AFAIK we are not allowed to collect donations, we might need to finance a bit through FFIS, but it's still to early to think about details - Since our booth will be bigger, we'll need more people to man it. We are currently thinking about 2-4 people, probably Jörg Jaspert and me during the entire show, and other volunteers for the last days Yours sincerely, Alexander "call me C.E.O." Schmehl
