Apache Software Foundation at LinuxTag 2004? From June, 23rd to June, 26th the LinuxTag (German for "Linux Day") conference and exhibition will take place in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The LinuxTag is Europe's biggest event for Free Software in general and Linux in particular. The event is organized by the German Open Source community and comprises the "Business- und Beh�rdenkongress" (Target Audience: Government Agencies, etc.), the "Freier Kongress" (free attendance) conferences and an exhibition. Among the exhibitors are companies like Hewlett Packard, Siemens-Fujitsu, Novell/SuSE and SAP as well as Open Source projects. The LinuxTag 2003 was attended by about 20.000 visitors, which was a new record for the event. Six months before LinuxTag 2004 opens its gates already more exhibition space than was available last year has been booked. The LinuxTag organizers have allotted the Apache Software Foundation and the PHP Project, which has been represented at LinuxTag for the past five years, exhibition space. Furthermore, thanks to a sponsor, we have a 21sqm room at our disposal that can be used for presentations and talks. ASF projects that are interested in beeing presented at the LinuxTag exhibition's ASF booth should contact me as soon as possible, so that we can plan the booth. Per ASF project the German PHP Community is, together with its sponsor, able to cover the lodging expenses for two persons. Also note that the Call for Papers for the "Freier Kongress" / Open Conference is still open. The deadline for paper submission is February, 7th 2004. Details are available at � http://www.linuxtag.de/2004/cfp.html The conference is organized into three parallel tracks, the usual attendance of a talk lies between 300 and 800 visitors.
