The Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (CLT) has been around since 1999, but for years it has also been affectionately known in the community as the Chemnitzer Catering-Tage. The event with the best food. That's possible :)
This year's motto, The Culture of Open Source, was a great opportunity for us and we arrived with more ambassadors than the information stand could hold. As we see it, the CMS Garden is exactly that: the symbol of open source culture. Communities that used to be in competition with each other come together in order to work together to build a stronger foundation. The fact that this has already been working for 13 years surprises us time and time again.
Two days of a concentrated conference program with many visitors, talks and workshops require a lot of voluntary commitment. Thank you to the ambassadors who invested their weekend to put on a successful event. Thanks also to the countless volunteers and the CLT organization team!
The CLT has been around since 1999, so there are people who have been able to put in more than an extra decade of voluntary work. Thank you for your commitment. This is a role model for us and gives us new strength every time we are weak. A big thank you from the bottom of our hearts and full of enthusiasm. Thank you for giving us the space. Thank you for sticking with it. Please give us more information on how you motivate yourselves again and again. :)
For the people who have never seen the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage in Live, we have collected some footage this time. This is what it looks like. And yes: You shouldn't be hungry on the way to lunch.
We are often in the role of organizing events ourselves and know that success consists of more than just having great exhibitors. There is the search for sponsors. And talks also need to be organized. So we were all the more pleased that three of the talks we submitted were accepted. They are now all available online and we have included them here. Enjoy the talks. You are also welcome to visit the overview page hosted on media.ccc.de.
From hearsay, we know that CLT will also take place in 2026. We are already looking forward to being part of it again next year.
