It is the second biggest event about Open Source Source and Free Operating Systems in Germany which attracted 1,800 people in 2003 and probably will have some 2,00 visitors in 2004. This year the two-day event will have 56 lectures, 10 workshops, and over 30 booths for some companies and many open source projects. New this year are the LPI exams, two developer meetings, some short talks, and WaveLAN at the accomodation, too. Doors are open from 9am to 6pm, and the entrance fee will be only 5euros for both days, reduced fare is only 3euros. and it all takes place at the orange painted lecture house the "Orangerie". Chemnitz is in the Middle-East of Germany, close to Dresden and Leipzig, and even closer to the Czech Republic. There are also some birds-of-a-feather meetings (BOFs), both a forum for beginners and one for experts, "Robo-Sumo" (LEGO Mindstorm roboters trying to shove each other off a table), a talk from Wilhelmshaven braodcasted live via Internet, and a talk by Dave Coombs (Canada) on "WvStreams: An Easier Way to World Domination". Accomodation can be as cheap as two euros for in-door campers in a sports gym very close to the event - and this one will have access points for WaveLAN, too! Breakfast can be obtained for three euros - flat rate! There will also be some beamers+cams, a bookshop, catering, a children's playroom, and a photo site with penguins, do-it-yourself roboters, a little bit of merchandising, eg a knoppix cd with a "live linux" with slides and doumentation of all talks and workshops (for only two euros), a linux cup and tshirts.
