Help

Grazer Linuxtage would be lost without its great community. Only through this community it is possible for us to organize the event every year and to achieve a common exchange about technical topics.

If you are interested in helping us, just drop us an eMail!

We have collected some suggestions on how you may support us:

Presentations, booths, workshops

You may contribute to the conference by offering presentations, booths, or workshops on topics that interest you. Submit these as part of the CfP (Call for Participation) and become a presenter.

Your submission will lead to a topic identification that will initiate discussions and determine our program.

Participate on site

At the event, there are many small tasks to complete. Therefore, we rely on the help of angels.
Examples for such tasks are:

• Already before the event, we need to do advertisment. We have coasters and posters to distribute.
• Visitors are to be greeted and visitor bags are to be handed over.
• Signposts are to be put up and, if blown away, corrected.
• The infrastructure team is happy to have helping hands. It’s mostly about carrying cables or other hardware to the right place.
• During the event one should take photos of the atmosphere and also of presenters in talks and workshops.
• There will be a livestream in each auditorium which needs to be overseen. We also need moderators to give signals to the presenter for timing.
  Note: You don’t need any prior knowledge for that! All the equipment is already on site and you will get a briefing the day before.
• After the event, tear down needs to be done. Signs need to be collected, posters removed, lecture rooms cleaned up, and infrastructure dismantled.
• At any time we are happy about mentions or reviews on blogs, social media or anywhere else. Spread the word! #glt25

What’s in it for you?

• You get a free T-shirt and vouchers for food and drink at the event.
• You are invited to our after event on saturday evening.
• In case you need it, we can give you a certificate for your work.
• New friends! GLT is a perfect place for networking and socializing.
• Another nice point for your CV - voluntarily helping at an event sounds good!

Sponsoring

We are very happy that our financial situation is so stable that we do not have to worry too much about funding the next event. However, we still depend on sponsors to support us. Become a sponsor!.

Donations

We also appreciate private donations. We accept donations through our bank account:
IBAN: AT75 4477 0000 5001 1715 (signed)
Owner: Grazer Linuxtage - Association for the promotion of free software and hardware

Organization

For an event like the Grazer Linuxtage many things have to be organized in advance. We have teams for updating our web content, acquisition of sponsors, planning the program for the next GLT, maintaining our digital infrastructure (sysadmins), preparing our event infrastructure (in cooperation with the event location), managing social media, developing our app, designing our graphics and much more. Are you interested in joining us and can you find one area of responsibility that interests you? Contact us and become a member of our orga team.
