If the budget allows, we might switch to the more fancy flat beam system this year. Since this might make it difficult to have all project names up on the beam system, we might print the names on the infopoints. But this depends on if there is any budget left after fulfilling all furniture requests.

We will have the fancy flat beam system again like in 2011. Projector boards ("Beamerhalterung") for this are pretty expensive (same price as 5 chairs or 3 regular tables), so please only request one if you really will use it.

The flat beam system may also make it difficult to affix the projector boards ("Beamerhalterung").

Sideboard File:Cyborg-Sideboard.jpg
Counter File:Cyborg-CounterSideboard.jpg

Furniture etc you need to bring yourself

Some furniture is really expensive to order or not available at all. Try to bring them yourself. We might do some shopping trips on Monday, May 21th, so if you need anything and can't organize it yourself, let us know. Or if you want to join us on the shopping trip and help with carrying our purchases, send us an email!

Item Name Comments
Shelves Ridiculously expensive when ordered from booth builder. But might be useful to utilize storage room better. Consider bringing a simple Ikea shelf or a shelf from a home improvement store.
Sofa tables I would suggest to get an Ikea LACK table instead. If you need one, let us know which color. We will go to Ikea anyway to get

some kitchen equipment for the project catering.

Flowers & Plants Way too expensive to order them through Messe Berlin services. If you want to decorate your booth with flowers or plants, bring them yourself.

Carpet and Flat Beam System

After the rather bland light grey carpets we had in 2010, we decided to go for blue carpets for all project booths in 2012. Here is a photo of a booth with blue carpet (Mozilla, 2010):

We will have the fancy flat beam system again like in 2011. Projector boards ("Beamerhalterung") for this are pretty expensive (same price as 5 chairs or 3 regular tables), so please only request one if you really will use it.

A word about costs and budget

You all applied and were accepted to exhibit your projects at this year's LinuxTag exhibition. We provide you with a booth, including carpet, wall elements, and furniture. This means we pay for this, not you.

We have a limited budget for the booth furniture, so we need to use it wisely. This year, we have a lot of projects and a lot of booth space. So we ask you to only request furniture that you really need and that you will use it appropriately.

Infopoints

We love the Infopoints because they are great for presenting software on a screen or laptop to the visitors. They have an optimal height, storage space, and look good. But they are really expensive!

Some approximate numbers showing how much an infopoint costs in relation to other furniture:

           1 Infopoint 
           = 12 chairs
           = 7 tables
           = 5 bar tables
           = 8 barstools
           = 2.5 sideboards
           = 1 sofa + 1 regular chair and table
           = 3 armchairs
           = 2 counters
           = 1 info bar

So if you request an infopoint, please use it as it is intended to demo your software. If you don't really need an infopoint, request a table, or one of the counters

What we don't want to see this year is projects using the infopoints just for flyers or as a sales counter!

Storage Space

We can add small storage rooms to your booth. These storage rooms are 1sqm in size, sometimes 2sqm. So they take away space from your booth. The door of this storage room alone is more expensive than one sideboard. If you only need this storage space to store the jackets and backpacks of your team members, please consider using the cloakroom ("Garderobe") in the entrance area of hall 7. The usage of the cloakroom is free of charge for project members (show your project badge).
