The European X.Org Developers Meeting

The X.Org Foundation is planning its first European Developers Meeting right before LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, Germany on Sunday June 19th and Monday June 20th.

The purpose of the conference is to bootstrap a European developers community.

We expect to have 5-6 talks a day, 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. This gives plenty of time to add additional presentations and discussions as well as extensive hacking.

The conference language is English.

Call For Papers

There are still slots open for presentations so if you are interested in giving a talk please send us the title and a brief abstract to our contact address.

Presentations will be accepted until the first day of the conference, however we encourage you to contact us early as interest is great.

Schedule

Please check our preliminary LinuxTagMeeting2005Schedule.

Fees

The conference will have free entrance, participants will have to pay travel and accommodation.

Some funding is available to X.Org to sponsor travel and accommodation for people who are unable to take care of these expenses themselves. People applying for this should be prepared to give a talk. When submitting your abstract please indicate if you require funding.

We are still working on getting free admission to the LinuxTag show for all those who participate in the conference - at least those who give a presentation.

We've got a number of tickets that we will distribute among those participants who don't have other ways of getting into the show (for example as exhibitors) if they have registered with us and indicated their need for a ticket. As the number of ticktets is limited please only get one if you really plan to go to the show.

X.Org will organize a social event for all those who participate in the meeting. (Don't confuse this with the LinuxTag social event!) Admission is free for those who are giving a presentation on the meeting. Please see below for further information.

Location

The meeting will take palce in room S1 in the upper level of the Konzerthaus. Please check the area map for the exact location. You can find links to further maps and information in our LinuxTag2005Infos.

Please NOTE: The location of the room may still change, therefore make sure to check this page for updated information.
