Sorry about the untranslatable pun: the German "Tag" in "LinuxTag" means both "conference, colloquium" and "day". And it must follow, as the night the day, that the glamorous social highlight of each year's LinuxTag is LinuxNacht! Great food, special music, comfortable places and refreshing drinks are the ingredients that make LinuxNacht the perfect place to chill and chat.

We look forward to seeing you at dusk on the 23rd of May!

This year, we gonna go to the Spandau Citadel. This fortress from the 16th century belongs to the most important in Europe. The italian couryards, where we will stay, surround us with high stone walls and arches. A little bank to Havel and the view from  "Bastion Brandenburg" are additional air places -- inkluding original jakes. Don't worry, they are not in use anymore. ;-)

For the Linuxnacht show we are happy to have found the open music rockband Shearer, who publish their work under Creative Commons since 2006. Are you curious? Take a look at our interview article "Behind the scene - 'Rock inside' at LinuxNacht 2013".
