Glad to see someone agrees already with changing the concept ;-)
Probably, yes. I hope an exact date will be fixed on friday,
so I should know more for the weekend.

Well, the idea is to have different themes, like desktop,
multimedia, etc. etc., where people who did presentations or
tutorials can show off their stuff and respond to questions,
and where visitors can experiment hands-on with the software.
We'll recycle PCs from the tutorials for this task.
There wouldn't be organization's booths - the companies there
(with one notable exception IIRC) weren't too happy last year.
And the (for us) more interesting part will take
place later
than usual, probably in february 2005 - mostly tutorials and
hands-on presentations (i.e. very practical stuff).
Small "villages" with different themes are an idea being
discussed, replacing the expo.
I don't really see what you mean. Will the boothes of the
different Organisations be in those "villages", for I don't really
get the point ;-) The reason for
the change of concept is the very low visitors
number last year (for the presentations parts anyway - the
tutorials were well visited), and the wish of the organizers
to have more practical / directly useful & interesting stuff
there.
Full ACK :) The reason for
the date is financing - we started late with
organization, it was too late to get a budget in for this
year. February it will be because of the availability of
classrooms @IST (uh, sorry, that's Campus Kirchberg of the
Université de Luxembourg now).
So do you think, that the LinuxDays will take place in the
school holidays in feb?
