How about we hold it as a satellite conference to LinuxTag, Karlsruhe, Germany, 10-13 July 2003? LinuxTag is a very big, very cool event. See http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/conferences/cfp.html - Dan

By the way, it looks like that page has some typos. The German page looks more correct, and is still mostly English (go figure): http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/de/conferences/cfp.html
I suppose the Linux Summit in Finland in Febrary is another possibility: http://www.sot.com/en/sot/summit2003.shtml but it's a much smaller (and colder!) show, and there isn't really enough time before then to prepare. - Dan

Well, wherever the summit is hold, I will try to be there this time ... if we start to agree on a date soon (otherwise I may have to skip again due to vacations or other stuff :-) ).
Germany, UK, all fine for me :-)

Another event is Linux Kongress. In the last years, some funding by the german government was available for special interest groups. We already had a get together with that money 1999 in Erlangen.

There is also the Linux Developers Conference (run by UK Unix Users Group) in Edinburgh at the beginning of August. Might be an opportunity for someone to get to see the festival cheap.
I'm on the organising committee and could get intros easy.

Looks like they're not too far along in planning yet: http://www.linux-kongress.org/2003/

They look a bit further along in planning than Linux Kongress: http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/ and they evidently have at least one guy on the organising committe who's on the ball :-)
LinuxTag is my favorite so far, fwiw, as 1) it looks fairly well organized and interesting in its own right 2) it's not freezing cold like Espoo in February would be 3) it's in a German-speaking country (I didn't learn my Grandma's Finnish too well, but I did learn my Grandpa's German!) 4) it's the least likely of the bunch to conflict with the arrival of my first kid on 31 July, the first day of the Edinburgh event :-)
