Tempting, very tempting

My english is poor, and I'm afraid nobody will understand me in Germany :-), but it looks very tempting.

KDE conferences are mostly conducted in English.

Interestingly, when you ask a German if they speak English, they say they only speak a little and then surprise you with what is actually quite good English.
Visitors who don't speak German needn't worry, as getting by with English is normally not a problem. Visitors who do speak German may have a problem, unless they speak Schwäbisch too!
Unfortunately, I think the Frühlingsfeschtle, which just started in Stuttgart, will have finished by the time the conference starts. The Film Academy, where the conference is being held, has produced some really cool short films - maybe the KDE visitors will get to see a couple...

In my Town

The best thing is that I live just down the road of the Film Akademy. It's just 3 Busstops away or a 15 minutes walk.
Maybe someone from somwhere far away wants to stay at my place fo a Weekend.
I would have to check with my Grilfriend though.

I guess you are over-booked already now? ;-)
If you are so supportive for KDE developers and conferences, how about joining
the local organizing team as a volunteer and help with the preparations and the
actually running of the event? We can use any helping hand available... (even
those of girlfriends ;-)
Please, get in touch if you'd like to help even more...
Thanks and cheers,
Kurt

I definitely want to come, especially "KDE Users' Conference: August 28th - 29th" I'm looking to come over that weekend. I think it is cool this event is also meant for users ...
Ciao

announcement

Why not announce this on other sites like LinuxToday, Newsforge, OSNews? Especially since users are invited?

### Why not announce this on other sites like LinuxToday, Newsforge, OSNews? ###
Why not write up and submit a news item to them?
We are relying on volunteers. The press releas was sent out to lots of addresses
(in English, German and Spanish), and it is up to them to publish it. Sometimes it helps to "remind" an overworked editor about a news item by a second, independently-worded story. (They will make sure to not publish it twice -- and if it happens it won't be to KDE's disadvantage... ;-)
KDE promotion can always have one more volunteer halping and contributing a bit.
Why not publish the announcement on the mailing list of your local LUG? Why not send it to your local newspaper? Why not translate it into your own language and publish it on popular sites and lists there? (Even if people won't come, they may still like to know what KDE is planning for.....)

Partners program?
by Brad Hards on Friday 09/Apr/2004, @04:05

Is there going to be a partners' program? I am booked to come over (yep - only 22 hours of flying time each way from Canberra to Frankfurt, then few hours on a train to Stuttgart :-), and am bringing my girlfriend. If she has something else to do, I can hack more....

There is certainly a lot to do and watch and visit and sightsee in and around Stuttgart (even if it is not a typical tourist area).
However we haven't planned a "partners' program" yet. We are looking into preparing some general "besides-the-hacking" tourist activities for everybody. But we may well consider to enable a checkbox in the registration form
--> [_] I want to bring my partner
so we can see how much interest there is. If it is more than half a dozen, these could self-organize their activities well in advance (with the help of one or two local people, of course).
How about that?

Hmm... wrote a reply last night and submitted it but seems like it got lost in cyberspace.
Hop over to the People Behind KDE website http://www.kde.nl/people/news.html
We were discussing it last week. Birte, Till Adam's wife started a group on Orkut, http://www.orkut.com called KDE Widows. A group for the partners behind KDE contributors, it's meant to provide a way to get in touch with each other and plan/organize a get-together at conferences and do some fun stuff together.
At the moment we only have a few members but I'm sure there must be a lot more out there. Let me know if you would like Birte's email address so you can pass it on to your gf or if you want an invitation to join Orkut.

Two hours ago, I had an enthusiastic KDE user from the local area (who had
already previously offered his help in some organizational tasks) write me
with the new message "my girlfriend is also willing to help. She is not so
much in computers, but she has now started to compile a list of worth-while
tourist attractions in the Stuttgart area and find out the details about
public transport".
So it looks like Brad hasn't any excuse left to come and leave his partner at home... ;-)
