This is our 10 year anniversary and we would like to have something special.

If possible outside:

Tent where we server drinks and food
Music: DJ or we could even ask for HMM to do a small concert (would bring at least their supporters)
Children's playground. (We have already volunteers for this part)

Inside almost as always:

Tux Café - used as show room, selling stuff and drinks and to discuss.
Class Room for the courses.
Class Room for the installations
Class Room for the LAN Party

Time: Saturday 8:00 to late night, Sunday 10:00 to 19:00 or only Sunday ?

Order soft drinks (Ets. Rossi in Dudelange)

CDs

We should have a couple of CDs of various distributions to hand out. 2 of each kind should be largely enough
(most people actually have either already bought a version themselves, or buy one at our stand)
- Kubuntu
- Fedora
- Knoppix (possibly customized LiLux version, needs time (!), yes i think its too late now, but for next year we could think of it ...) -> cf. HURD :-)
- SuSE
- Debian
- Mandrake
- OpenCD
- Plan for enough blank CDs in case we run out of one distro
- Ubuntu & Kubuntu: check when the official version may be shipped...

Material

Everyone MAKE SURE YOU MARK YOUR ITEMS!

Ethernet Cables
Hubs / switches
Spare keyboards
Spare monitors
"multiprises"
Wi-Fi access point
