Tooo many typos and links not working. So I'm re-sending the message again. === Hello Worgers and all friends of Org-mode! >From Wednesday the 9nth to Saturday the 12th of June 2010 the 10nth LinuxTag takes place in the fairground of Berlin, Germany [1]. As every year, it will be possible for free projects to get a booth without cost. Not a big one, but enough to present Org-mode in a suitable environment. As a side effect, we could meet each other face to face and share some thoughts. As Berlin is one of the liveliest Cities on this planet, I am sure we will have good time seeing each other. *** BEFORE APPLYING FOR A BOOTH *** we want to make sure, that it will not be a one or two man show. If we apply for a booth, we have to keep it running for 4 days, 12 hours a day - more than a working week (in this country). To have fun (that's what I want to have), I feel we should always be at least 4 people at a time on the stand, better 5 or more. The more people we are, the less it will feel like work, the more breaks everyone will have and the better we will present Org-mode. As most of us do not live in Berlin or near by, we need to know *** WHO IS WILLING TO COME TO BERLIN AND HELP *** Sure we will need some kind of program and content, which is to be discussed later on this mailing list and orgmode.org/worg. The program must be ready by then: Presentations, Videos, automated Demos, stuff for visitors to try out (think of Org-mobil - many visitors will use smart phones), handouts and so on. Some of this will depend on facts we do not know yet, like size of the booth. I'd guess it's quite small - about 4x4 meters or something. We wont have too much space and visitors are constantly changing, so a good two hour program (partially automated, e.g. videos) will be enough. More is fine. I'm sure we could provide some interesting stuff there. I will take care for the organizational stuff (maybe with someone else), like bookings, transfer station/airport/hotel/fair, installations and so on. I added a directory `linuxtag/' to orgmode.org/worg/. This directory will contain all relevant information around Org-mode on LinuxTag 2010. I started the list of volunteers there [2]. Worgers add yourself there, please. If you're not a worger, please drop us mail here on the list or privately and we will add you there. If you send us a private mail, we will not publish your email address. Please don't forget to tell us how you would like to help, and, if you can manage to come to Berlin, when you plan to help on the stand. See [2] for more. There's no need to stay for the entire 4 days. OK then Worgers, make it happen! Sebastian == Footnotes: [1] http://wiki.linuxtag.org/w/fp:FAQ [2] http://orgmode.org/linuxtag/index.php#volunteers
