Dear $ALL,
A lot of real-life events had to be cancelled in 2020-2022 due to the
Covid-19 pandemic, some became online or hybrid events.
In September 2022, LinuxDay.AT was the first to dare to return to a
real-life event format.
Now, LinuxDays Chemnitz is following suit: Their event takes place on
the weekend of March 11th/March 12, 2023, in their pre-pandemic
location, the Campus Reichenhainer Street of the Technical University
Chemnitz.
We have been able to secure a booth there, however, due to unforeseen
circumstances, we are a bit shorter on booth staff than originally planned.
So if anyone is planning to attend anyways, or at least considering to
attend, please reply to this message (off-list, see Reply-To header).
No promises, but we might be able to get you a free ticket in exchange
for volunteering at our booth (this depends on the CLT folks' goodwill,
as we're past the sign-up date).
Also, we'll see if we can pick you up/drop you off somewhere along the
route and see if we can get a room reserved for you as well. Again, no
promises, as this is all very last minute and not going as expected, but
we'll do our best.
Note: There is no official mask mandate at the venue, but wearing a mask
is strongly recommended. Assuming pre-pandemic attendance rates, you can
expect 3600 visitors passing the booths in 2 days (opening hours are
8am-6pm on Saturday and 9am-6pm on Sunday). That is A. LOT. Which means
the infection risk is way higher than on, say, public transport during a
morning commute.
Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur

PS: The main reason for our booth volunteer shortage is that we were
promised a mask mandate, but it has been dropped since. I was supposed
to be one of the volunteers, but due to having a vulnerable household
member, I will be unable to attend, given the higher risk.
