Re: Fwd: LinuxDay 2010 - Call for Papers online!

Great!

Oh, some more info _from the last few years_ (not necessarily true for this
year!):
- Expenses are covered by the organisers, they'll come up to you toward the
end of the event, just have your train tickets at hand.
- As mentioned, don't expect to leave right after it ended, you'll be
invited to "Käsespätzle" and a really nice talk with the others afterwards.
Don't miss that, it's a valuable chance to meet people - local as well as
"important representatives".
- You can Register with Reinhard Müller <[email protected]>
directly, he's a helpful, nice guy!
- Maybe think of giving a talk too. It's worth it!

I personally really see this event as an educational one; it's in a school,
and - as mentioned before - there's all the students present, for them it's
a great "wow" to meet "people from the projects" - and are surprised how
"easy" it is to become part. The teachers are doing a great job encouraging
their students to using FOSS, even doing projects in class. So yes, it is
small and "sweet", but I've seen a lot (Jos, you know ;-) and compared to
"professional events" it's a lot more personal and warm, whereas compared to
university-events there's a lot more passion to be seen in the student's
eyes. I even took my GF once, even she had a good day (showing KDE games and
EDU software merely by playing and animating others to play too ;-)

Thanks Thomas, hope that works; Maybe someone else will too... as I said, I
don't do much anymore unfortunately, but I'd _love_ to do that one...
Greets!
