New date
- May 08 – 10, 2014
New venue
- Station Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Not Messe Berlin anymore! New location is near Gleisdreieck and Deutsches Technik Museum.
New partner
- partnering with droidcon
New schedule
- 3 days: Thursday to Saturday
- Evening talks on Thursday and Friday until 10pm
- Exhibition open 9am to 6pm
- Daytime talks as always from 10am to 6pm
What does this mean for the free projects?
- Berlin Web Week takes place at the venue from May 05 until May 10, 2014. This means that several conferences run during that week in the different halls of the Station. re:publica takes place in the hall next to LinuxTag until Thursday. The Media Convention Berlin takes place until May 07 in the halls that LinuxTag uses, so setup for our exhibition booths can only start once the exhibition for this event has been torn down, which means that setup is on Wednesday evening not before 7pm!
- Partnering with droidcon means that we share the same exhibition and lecture halls. We will have 7 lecture halls, so during the day LinuxTag can run 3 tracks in parallel and use one more hall for half of the day. Thus we are introducing the evening sessions this year, so that we can run tracks in all 7 lecture halls in the evenings until 10pm on Thursday and Friday.
- re:publica is having their party on Thursday evening at the Station, so there is a chance that we will join them with our LinuxNacht. This means that the party in the courtyard will run in parallel to the evening sessions on Thursday. Right now it looks like there will be no expensive tickets and buffet like in the years before but drinks and food will be for sale at various booths outside.
- Partnering with droidcon means that we will have the same ticket options. Tickets for the day sessions include food from a professional caterer, thus they are more expensive than in the previous years. This also means that each exhibiting project will only receive 2 exhibitor passes. Additional "food-only tickets" may be bought for project members. To be decided: evening sessions will either be free for all (no tickets needed) or accessible for a very small fee. There will be no eTickets this year, but we will have a scholarship program where people can apply for a free ticket for the whole event. More details on this will follow as we get closer to the event.
- We will be using halls 4, 5, and 6 for droidcon and LinuxTag. Rooms are very limited. We only have 2 additional rooms (accessible from the courtyard) for special events (meetings, exams etc), but they are already nearly booked. So any project workshops need to take place in the evening in the regular lecture halls. Due to the limited room availability we will not have a dev center this year, but there will be wifi available everywhere. Since there is no kitchen (no "Zille"!) in the halls at the new venue, we need to rely on an external caterer.
- Leaner exhibition: exhibition space is shared between droidcon sponsors, LinuxTag sponsors (= commercial exhibitors), and free software projects. Thus we will probably not be able to accept as many projects as before. There will be no octanorm-booths with cabins. Each exhibitor gets assigned a space and has to bring a rollup and/or banner. If you have, you can bring your own booth equipment (let us know this beforehand - booth furniture needs to be approved by the fire marshall!). We will provide tables and chairs, while other furniture is available only by special request and if budget allows.
Larger space is only available with an appropriate concept proposal - please send your sketches and photos to projects@linuxtag.org.
