Hi Zopistas ! Zope is going to be present with its own booth at the SYSTEMS IT fair in Munich from 6.-10. November 2000. After the CeBIT in Hannover it is the 2nd-largest IT fair in Germany with over 130.000 visitors last year. There will be a large focus on the Open Source movement with a dedicated forum called LinuxPark, which was a huge success in 1999. See the homepage at http://www.systems.de for general information and http://www.linux-events.de/, a Zope site, for information on LinuxPark. We will have a booth supplied by Linux New Media who is organizing LinuxPark. The booth is supported by Iuveno and Beehive and features two separate work-places with internet access where we can have two computers and two posters. The Zope booth is going to be some steps away from the shared Iuveno and Beehive booth, and the Linux-Cafe is just ahead. Around the corner is going to be the Gimp and Debian folks, and the Samba people are next to us. We will have the chance to present Zope related projects, so we are looking for people who could prepare some talks. We need many Zopistas who would like to help with the preparation of the fair and who can man the Zope booth on the four days of the event. We also need two computers and preferably flat screens for the booth. Please contact Joachim Werner at joe@iuveno.de if want to support the EuroZope SYSTEMS team with hardware or help attending the booth. If you plan to come to the SYSTEMS, it would be nice if you could also send an email to the EuroZope mailing list at eurozope@comlounge.net. All those who attend the booth will get a free ticket and we have sleeping space for 3-4 people in the Munich area, because hotels would be rather expensive. If you prefer to stay in a hotel, it could pay off to stay in nearby Ingolstadt and come with the Iuveno guys to Munich each day.
