Linuxfest Organization 2007

(For reference, link to LinuxFest 2007)

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


Design

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

General

  • Date July ??
  • Time: Saturday 8:00 to late night, Sunday 10:00 to 19:00 or only Sunday ?
  • Location LGL (Lycée de Garçons) Luxembourg Limpertsberg or somewhere better ?
    • ONT website [1] in the agenda: Try to add Linux Fest
