[arch-events] [Germany] coming events in 2009
I think it's a good time now to discuss in what events we want to take part in 2009. Either with our own booth or only for a developer & community meeting. 3 big events have established here that we might discuss: 1) 14th/15th March '09 Chemnitz http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2009/info/ 2) 24th-27th June '09 Berlin http://www.linuxtag.org 3) end of August '09 St.Augustin http://www.froscon.de If we want to take part in one or more event we should apply early enough. For the Chemnitz event the deadline is already running. I've been at all events over the past few years, so now my personal opinion: I suggest to leave out the very commercial event in Berlin. ArchLinux and the members that usually represent it are quiet funny and a bit geeky guys. So maybe we don't fit very well there. And it's a bit expensive for everybody there. FrosCon is a cheep event for us. But it doesn't have many visitors. It's still a nice place to meet for hacking and talking but we haven't had many community members seen there. We've been there with a dev room for the last two years and an additional booth this year. I'd rather like to see us come together this year in Chemnitz. We could have a booth or a developer room. It's quiet a big event but it kept staying community based. It's cheep except the travel costs for some people. The program is always nice and usually interesting from technical view. Sure it's a bit too far away for some people to get there. But you can say that for every location in Germany. Do you know other events we should have a look at? Something in snowy Austria or NorthSea shore? Opinions? -Andy (who's still waiting for the sponsored invitation for ArchCon at a sunny place...)

Just a reminder. Time is going forward. If we want to take part in Linuxtag we should hurry up with an application. Any Dev that want to take part in some event next year? -Andy
