Should we bring hardware or do you have enough hardware. We'll bring
our laptops, anyway. Let's just discuss details after next tuesday,
then I'm hopefully finished with my diploma :) *yippie*

Cheers, Alex

I was in fact planning on using the http://www.linuxaudiodev.org URL for
the poster because it's quite easy to remember (and, like others on this
list, I have a better feeling with ".org" than with ".com" :-).

Ok - in case you can make it there, remind me to spend you a beer for
having reserved the two domains - I really like that!

Btw, I might be able to find a sponsor for booth leaflets here in
Germany - some companies selling Linux books&software have been helpful
last year, and for a small area on the leaflet showing their name, they
might shell out some $$..working on it.

Thanks,
Frank

Excellent effort Frank.

I'll donate $100 USD if I can transfer it to
someones account with some assurance it'll be
used to help the overall LAD meeting.

FYI:  both  http://www.linuxaudiodev.org  and http://linuxaudiodev.org
point to the current LAD page (linuxdj.com/audio/lad)

Just in case you want to make banners at your booth that include LAD's URL.
(linuxaudiodev.org is a bit easier to remember than linuxdj.com/audio/lad  :-) )

Frank,  the stuff you describes looks really good ... 
I'll look if I will have the possibility to come to Stuttgart but I cannot guarantee

[linux-audio-dev] LinuxTag - Infomail 1

2001-06-06 Thread Frank Neumann

Hi folks,
LinuxTag is coming closer, and now I finally have enough info to write a
mail about it. Everyone somehow involved in the LAD booth at the
LinuxTag should probably read this; the others may press "d" or whatever
now.

1) Participant list
I have the following people on my list of participants, be it for just
one day or for the entire fair. I'd like those in this list to give me a
short "ack" or "nak", that is, if they are actually going to come or
not. Also, I need to know how long you are going to be present at the
fair so we can organize a bit who can take a break at what time etc (I
think this will not be a big problem, though).

  Frank Neumann ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Matthias Weiss ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Steve Harris ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Jörn Nettingsmeier ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Tobias Ulbricht ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Francois Dechelle ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  (Nicola Bernadini: [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  (Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu: [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Robert Schrem ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Jürgen Erhard ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Josh Green ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Werner Schweer ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Alexander Ehlert ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Daniel Kobras ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
  Richard Guenther ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )

I believe it would be better if you sent your mail directly to me
instead of to this list. Before replying now, though, read the rest of
this mail as there is more info I need to know from you.

2) Travelling to Stuttgart
This is something I can help with only partially; in the next days I'll
scan in a city map of Stuttgart and mark the way to the "Messezentrum"
and where the university is located (it's about 10 km away, so the only
way to get there is probably car or bus). Actually, there is also a
description of how to get to the fair at the Linuxtag's homepage under
http://www.linuxtag.org .

- If you're coming from Germany, things should be clear
- If you're coming from another country, arriving by train or plane, we
need to arrange something. Robert Schrem had offered he might help to
get people from the train station or elsewhere, and if this were really
needed, then I'd very much like to make use of your offer, Robert, as
I'm not from Stuttgart and might be busy with other preparations on
Wednesday (day before the fair begins).

So, be sure to let us know NOW how you get to the LinuxTag and if you
need someone to pick you up from train station or airport. As for
myself, I'll be there by Wednesday, July 4th, somewhere in the afternoon
(3 p.m. or so).

Unfortunately, there will be no sponsoring for us, so you will have to
pay for the travel on your own :-(. Sorry about this, but I'll also have
to take 3 days vacation because our company is in a cost-cutting year
and they can't afford to send employees to congresses/fairs :-(.

3) Sleeping / accomodation
Robert Schrem had offered sleeping places at his flat, but this is not
possible anymore. But that is no problem - the organizer of the free
booths at the LinuxTag have made an agreement with the university to let
people sleep there in the gym hall, and this includes access to showers,
plus breakfast and dinner (simple, but what do you expect? :-). For more
details, please go to www.infodrom.ffis.de/Debian/events/LinuxTag2001/
and read the "Infomail #xx" links on the left side). As for dinner, at
least at one of the 4 days there'll be a "social event" right at the
fair with food&beverages where we'll probably be allowed to join for a
special price. As for the other days, we might (instead of having dinner
at the university) decide to go somewhere downtown to a local
restaurant.

So, here I need to know from all participants how many nights they want
to sleep at the gym hall, how many breakfasts they'd like to have etc.
You might want to use the form that is in "Infomail #3" at the above
link, but please send the filled out snippet to me directly because I
want to collect all of this information on behalf of our group.

I understand not everyone might feel comfortable when thinking of
sleeping on air matress/sleeping bag in a gym hall, but it's really the
best I can offer - if you want to go to a hotel or youth hostel, you're
on your own. But, believe me - it's actually a rather funny time I had
earlier when we had Amiga computer meetings and some >100 geeks were
snorting in a large room - just don't forget your ear plugs! :-).

4) Available hardware
I'm building up a list here..more info perhaps in the next mail.

5) Insurance of hardware
As we are going to have quite a bit of valuable hardware at the booth, I
need some kind of insurance against theft, damage etc. No more info
available on this yet, but I have someone who is looking into this for
me.

6) The booth
Still no info on the actual dimensions of the booth - Martin Schulze
says "there is enough space", and I have reserved space for two "demo
stations" (table with place for PC keyboard, monitor, keyboard, active
speakers, rack etc) plus some possible extra space for not
