by Martin Lasarsch 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi Please don't forget the biggest Linux event in Germany, just a few weeks away! For the second time it will be in Berlin, from 28-31.05.2008. The location is slightly differrent, still at Messehalle Funkturm, but this time it's Hall7 (south instead of east last year). Again we try to have an interesting program for you, let me be little bit more verbose ... - booth: meet the openSUSE community, talk with developers and see the latest openSUSE 11.0 beta/RC running. We will have decent hardware and big screens to show openSUSE in all it’s glory :-) We are happy that we have again a community project at our booth, this time it's Linux-Club.de, a big German Linux forum. If you are interested in the Novell Enterprise products, we will have also a counter with SLE. You can also meet Zonker for the first time in Germany! - openSUSE day: one day, packed with talks, this time on Saturday! Look at the schedule for more information, we think that there is something for everybody in it. There are of course a lot of other interesting open-source projects at the Linuxtag, so if you are in Germany/Berlin, don’t miss it!
