Desktop Linux Summit 2006
 
 

What does the registration price include?
Full Admission buys you admission to all booth exhibits, speeches, and panel discussions, plus refreshments and free T-shirt! Exhibit Only admission gets you into the exhibit hall only.

What's the difference between Full admission and Exhibit Only admission?
The Full Admission ticket buys your admission to exhibits plus speakers, keynotes, panels and all other DLS main events for 2 days, and a free T-shirt. The Exhibit Only ticket ONLY buys admission to the exhibit hall - not the speeches or panels, and you don't get the T-shirt.

When will the event be held?
Monday and Tuesday, April 24-25, 2006 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego, CA.

How do I make travel arrangements?
The Desktop Linux Summit will be held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego, CA. We are in the process of negotiating special rates on hotels in the area that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please visit the Travel Section of the Desktop Linux Summit site often for updates on travel planning information and a list of hotels with special rates.

Do I have to rent a car to get to the Summit?
Frankly, public transportation in San Diego is not quite as thorough as in other major cities. However, since the Summit will be held so close to San Diego International Airport, getting to the area is a quick cab ride away. Additionally, your hotel may have shuttles that pick you up from the airport. Keep visiting the Travel Section of www.desktoplinuxsummit.com for travel information and links to public transportation in the area.

What if I only want to attend for one day? Can I just pay for admission for that day?
Your registration fee includes admission to Desktop Linux Summit for both days. We cannot charge you for only one day.

Who else will be at this year's Summit?
Last year's event drew companies like Novell, AMD, Real, Mozilla, etc. and we expect this year's event to be even bigger. Sponsors are coming on board now... check back often to see who's the latest to sign up!

What topics will be covered at this year's Summit?
We're still finalizing the agenda, but there will be panels devoted to enterprise, international, and commercial software migration.

Will there be wireless Internet at the Summit?
Yes, wireless Internet will be provided at the Summit.

Okay, it says there will be refreshments provided, but last year I got a boxed lunch and breakfast when I attended. Will that happen again this year?
This year, the Summit is in such a popular, fun location with so many dining options that we are leaving it up to attendees to find their own meals during the event. You'll be right next door to Seaport Village and the Gaslamp Quarter, with numerous restaurants ranging from fast food to sit-down restaurants. San Diego is your dining oyster! Enjoy!

Do I need my receipt to get into the Summit?
You will need your payment receipt and a valid photo ID to gain admission to the Summit. Your name must appear on the receipt as the attendee. If you signed up for a discounted rate (student, etc) you will need proof of your status to gain admission.
