Linuxtag, one of the biggest events around Free Software in Europe, will take place from 28. - 31. May 2008 in Berlin, Germany. Like in the previous years, FSFE will be present with a booth. A lot of question might already be answered on Linuxtag's wiki.

Some people made pictures of the event.

Booth Guidlines

• No hacking at the booth: you want to use your computer to read e-mails, etc. please check that there is enough staff at the booth and take your computer somewhere else. Please, that is important. It looks very unfriendly to visitors if the booth crew does not show interest in things which happen outside their computer. There is a "Developer Room" for project's members only in hall 7.1c.

• No luggage at the booth: please do not leave your luggage at the booth. This looks very messy. There will be the possibility to lock your luggage somewhere else.
