The Linux Hotel and the Unperfekthaus

On June 7-8 BeVolunteer organized it's second General Assembly at the Linux Hotel in Essen, and partied afterwards at the equally incredible Unperfekthaus. Both locations were perfect for our purposes, and we would like to thank the owners once again for their support in making this weekend a success.

You can read all about the General Assembly of Bevolunteer (the organization behind BeWelcome, an open source hospitality exchange network) in our internal wiki pages.

So what are the Linux Hotel and the Unperfekthaus, and how can they fit into your projects?

First of all, the Linux Hotel is a luxurious location that offers inexpensive training courses and seminars about OpenSource-software. They have all the know-how, the material, virtual servers and all the equipment you need to create your own conference rooms.
On top of that they are a hotel, and can provide you with top-quality accommodation, sauna, a wonderful park and garden, and much much more.

What's more, they offer something called "FreakTime" where you can stay with a whole group of programmers at cheap rates and have a hackaton. Check our their website (in German, but you can contact them in English) at Linuxhotel.de

The Unperfekthaus is something completely different, but very complementary to the Linux Hotel. It is litteraly an Open House, a place where everybody is welcome to use all the facilities (a walk-in sauna, huge television/computer screen, computers, workshops etc.etc.). They even have a hotel that consists of common rooms (like kitchen, living room) so that guests can come together in the evening. It is a place where there is always something going on, from concerts to movie screenings and art exhibitions.
