Firstly, I have to apoligize Devrim and all of you guys who want to come
Istanbul for PGCon. We were really busy when we got this message. It
seems, we are gonna be busy for next months too. We may organize other
events of PG's in some other times. I'm really sorry for this
year/event(s).

Best Regards

Hans,

of course, I would be lucky, if somebody want to make a booth/talk at
the LinuxTAG.

Unfortunately, we have had lots of issues with the LinuxTag organisation
team at the past (after 2005).
Also, it was really boring in 2006. We have had the great sum of 5
visitors during all days. Most was exhibitors entertained exhibitors.
My agents told me lots of bad stuff about LinuxTag 2007 too.
Also they told me about very less visitors, so that I don't regret, that
we don't have had a booth there last year.
Berlin is far away and neither central to most living people nor looking
to the geography (round about 800km from my town).

If you really want to go there: be careful with the organisation team.
