Eth0:2008 Summer/Workshops

Workshops and Lectures

If you know something and would like to share it with the people on the campgrounds, organizing a workshop or a lecture is a piece of cake. There might be a possibility that the organisation is able to provide an indoor room with tables, seats, power and network, which could be used for this purpose. Another option is that, if you have a big enough tent or are able to find space in a large tent, you do your workshop or lecture in your own location. You are responsible for providing your own network/power/seats in this case. Furthermore, apart from an entry on the wiki and maybe a schedule on the main site (ical anybody?) you are responsible for your own promotion.

Pre-registration

Use this space if you plan to give a workshop/lecture. Please note that this is just a preliminary registration, details will be subject to change in the future so keep an eye on this page if you intend to give a workshop/lecture
