==== Last year's participation ====
* '''Did you participate at last year's LinuxTag?''' yes
* '''Did you participate at last year's LinuxTag?''' yes
* '''Feedback on booth size and equipment:''' we had a small booth together with tntnet, but with two counters and a table shared for both which was perfect and would be great to have the same setup this year again
* '''Feedback on booth size and equipment:'''we had a small booth together with tntnet, but with two counters, that was great - other counters (cheaper) would be also great - we can also share one counter if it is a bigger one.
*: the network connection (LAN) was not available at the  booth, later we got one cable from another booth causing problems as eg.  some exhibitors shut down the booth early on Saturday, cutting us off  the net
:We just missed a place to crash with people while talking - a shared table or sofa would be great (whatever is cheaper)
* '''Feedback on booth location:''' the location was maybe  the most quiet area in the hall, directly behind the second entrance  where hardly people were around - only a lot of commercial exhibitors
:network was better as in 2009 (switch nearby), but while everyone from the organisers told us NOT IN ANY CASE to shutdown our booths before 18:00 some technicians stole the switch almost an hour earlier....
*: a bit more inside the halls with more community projects would be nice - eg. Linux4Africa, SkoleLinux, OpenOffice.org
* '''Feedback on booth location:''' it was a corner-both with two sides open - very good. The neighbours (Yacy, SkoleLinux, SugarLabs, Linux4Africa) were great and fitted perfectly in our scope.
