1) I am much more interested in the social aspect and/or meaningful IRL discussions, rather then sitting in some booth promoting arch to (potential) users. do you guys plan to get a devroom and/or do more meaningful things then "booth-sitting" ?
This is definetly not about sitting at a booth and waiting for people. We will have a dev room, there will be a social event on saturday evening. Last year I had no time booting up my notebook. (talking to lots of people visiting other projects etc.)
2) The link "program" on their site links to "call for papers", is there a way to get an up to date view of what talks there will be?
they are still on planning the event
3) are the talks mostly in german? how much of a problem is it that I don't speak german?
That shouldn't be a problem. Lot's of talks are in English and pretty much everybody should understand you. But you might ask Jan about how he felt last year.
4) is there an entrance fee?
Sure, as community project we'll get vip badges. So we'll have drinks and food for free, too.
5) do you guys plan to go both days?
Yes. If you don't want to stay at a hotel you can sleep in our dev room.
Thanks for the clarifications, it seems much more interesting now :) My status is now "maybe". I'll apply on the website. Dieter
