[Lilux-info] Final call for proposals for HaxoGreen 2012

Good day, This serves as a final call for proposals for HaxoGreen summer-camp 2012. The submission system will close on May 15th around midnight. Make sure to submit before that happens ;) We have worked hard to ensure media coverage in several newspapers, radio stations, both announcing and reviewing the camp. More tents, more music, a bookshop, several sponsors and community partners will ensure that this year's edition of HaxoGreen will totally surpass the 2010 edition in awesomeness. You should totally not miss this opportunity.

Still cosy at a maximum of 140 people, still at the same perfect setting that offers commodities for shopping, outdoors for camping and areas filled to the brink with adventure and history [1,2] at the same time. The camp will take place from Thursday, July 26th till Sunday, July 29th and be bristling with geeks and their innovative ideas. Talks, workshops, live music in the evenings, geocaching, fresh food and most of all very interesting people make this an event that is not to be missed. Whether you're hacking on your project, looking for new and exciting ideas or just craving to share 3 midsummer nights outdoors, socialising with other hackers, artists and geeks, HaxoGreen is the place to be.

We appreciate your participation, be it by holding a lecture, tutoring a workshop or presenting your projects and ideas during a 10 min lightning talk. == LOCATION == The camp is located at the scouts' grounds near the city of Dudelange in the southern region of Luxembourg.
