Systems2007 takes place from Tuesday 23rd October to Friday, 26th October at the Neue Messe Munich.

Debian will have a booth at the Perspektive Open Source in Hall B2, Booth 110-2.

Talks

As part of the "Perspektive Open Source", there will be a Kongress and a Forum with talks.

The Kongress requires registration and costs 49 EUR per session, the forum is right next to the booths at "POS-Bühne" B2.110 and is for free.

All talks will most likely be held in german.

These (more or less) Debian-related talks take place at the Forum next to the Open Source area:

HOWTO

in paar Grundregeln, die eigentlich jeder weiß, aber in der Hitze des Gefechts schonmal vergessen werden:

verhalten, daß Debian würdig vertreten wird (hey, wir sind eines der ältesten und würdigsten Projekte!) und niemand im Projekt beschädigt wird (Gegenbeispiel: Die "Diskussion" neulich in Frankreich um Firefox/Iceweasel)

wann jemand da ist, der mehr weiß (Standplan siehe oben). Niemand kann alles wissen, und das ist auch nicht schlimm. Halbwissen schadet bei sowas mehr als es nutzt - und nicht spekulieren.

Priorität. Durchaus auch auf Leute zugehen ("Hallo, kann ich Ihnen helfen" etc).

Also durchaus mal unterbrechen, wenn es lange dauert mit einem Besucher, und andere Leute was kurzes wollen (aber da ist dann Fingerspitzengefühl angesagt).

FAQs

Booth Layout

Very similar to last year, but the whole Open Source Park will be more densily packed.

We are in the middle of the FLOSS area (Hall B2, Booth 110-2), see http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/systems2007/Gesamtplan_2007.pdf

The FLOSS area is embedded into the "Perspektive Open Source" area (Hall B2, Booth 110), at the left border of Hall B2: http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/systems2007/Halle_B2_01.10.07.pdf

Booth Hardware

We got the old Gnome Event-Box computer and a TFT kindly provided by ?MurrayCumming.

What to show

Booth personell can also bring their own notebook (only one will fit though), but in this case should create a default user and show the default Debian desktop as well usually.

Booth Decoration

Booth Staff

Current planning includes 2-3 people at the booth, possible two in the morning, one person reinforcing over lunch, and two in the afternoon, thus 5 shifts and at least three people per day. Systems is 4 days, so we have 20 shifts (semi-days) to fill. If we assume everybody will do two shifts or more, we need at least 10 people.

The following people are volunteering to staff the booth (numbers of shifts and preferred days/times subject to change):

Name Plates

Booth staff should have name plates. Usually, it is easy to gather plastic name plate bags with some sponsor's keychain. Somebody (volunteers?) needs to print the name tags though.

CDs

ADR (Hall B2 Booth 325) will press CDs for us. We will likely have to pay around 0.60 EUR (maybe less or nothing) per blank CD. We ordered 300-500.

We need to organize paper covers, ThomasTemplin is probably doing this.

Merchandise

Tickets

We got 3 exhibitor passes, which are transferable.

People who get free tickets through other means (e.g. as promotion from computer magazines or through their university or employer) should use them if possible.

For others, we are able to provide guest ticket numbers, which can be used to obtain "online ticket vouchers" at http://www.systems.de/ticket. You need to register online with a registration code, and will then get a link to an online ticket voucher which you can print out and which includes an MVV pass to get to Systems.

For questions, ask area-muc@teams.debian.net.

If you need a ticket, or if you have tickets you don't need please drop a mail at area-muc@teams.debian.net or mail to lists@news.robgri.de
