DeveloperWorkshopAugust2008
General Information
We would like the participants to read the DevWorkshopGuidelines first, then you can add yourself to the list of interested participants below.
Date
8th to 10th of August 2008 at the Linuxhotel in Essen, Germany.
Location
Linuxhotel in Essen (Travel info, Anreise)
See http://www.linuxhotel.de/community.html for generic information on community events at this location (only in German language)
Sleeping, Eating, Drinking
Sleeping in the hotel, breakfast, coffee flatrate and drinks are included in the low fee we have to pay. We have to organize lunch and dinner on our own. Normally we manage to pay everything with the money from our sponsors, so you do not have to pay anything.
Cost/Sponsorship
Due to german tax laws, the Linuxhotel is not allowed anymore to give the location away for free. They have to charge some money:
- If n=number of persons, overall amount of money needed: n * 60
Additional money is needed for food and travel sponsorship
We're looking for sponsors from now on, so far we have an agreement with these companies:
Many thanks to these sponsors!

In general we will have:
- Starting meeting - people introduce themselves, tell about their interests to work on, workgroups are built, final schedule outlined
- In the middle: Discussion about general ideas for the further FAI development
- End: Discussion about progress made on the work topics - what did we reach - what will happen with the topics not done yet, how will the workgroups continue working on them
