[CentOS-promo] LinuxTag insurance

[Ralph Angenendt]

Hi,

starting a new thread for this.

I just talked to the insurance brokers - as long as the money is there
before LinuxTag, we have no problem getting an insurance. I'd like to
send them the insurance declaration on Monday, because they have to send
me an invoice before I can send them money.

What this means: We are/stuff is insured *as soon* as they have the
money.

So we need an estimate (better higher than too low) of the stuff we want
to insure.

First:

If you are bringing laptops, monitors, computers - tell me what you
bring with you and the value of that. Laptops, monitors and beamers fall
into the 1.3% category (insurance sum is 1.3% of the value). Computers
fall into the .3% category. So if we have laptops, monitors and beamers
worth EUR 10,000, we pay EUR 130,- insurance (plus 19% insurance tax).

Problem is: We still have to pay 25% of the damage if one occurs. 

Second: 

General liability insurance - do we need that or is everyone attending
at the booth privately insured for that? If we need that, it's going to
be EUR 82,50 (plus 19% insurance tax) for a week - which seems to be the
shortest time range for which it is available. Insurance details:
EUR 2,500,000.00 for damages against persons and objects, EUR 50,000.00
for financial losses, EUR 1,500,000.00 for "Umweltbasisdeckung"
(probably environmental damages). 

Accident/casualty insurance has two classes: 

  I  EUR 10,000.00 in case of death, 50,000.00 for invalidity
  II EUR 15,000.00 in case of death, 75,000.00 for invalidity

This would be either EUR 6,50/person*week (I) or EUR 10,- (II).
This insurance is also valid for travelling to/from LinuxTag (if you
travel from within Europe).

Third:

Discuss whether we need general liability insurance or/and accident
insurance.

I *NEED* the estimated value of stuff you bring by Sunday evening. 

Axel: As we are going to insure stuff at the expo - can you ask again
for the beamer/pc? And tell us the value of that, so that we can insure
it? If you get a no - well, we're overinsured then. 

Please respond as soon as possible (everyone of you!) and/or tell people
who will attend but are not on the list (Tim and Gideon, I think).

We will also talk about this at the irc meeting on sunday (see my other
mail regarding that, I will also send a reminder).

Cheers,

Ralph
