Hi ,<br><br>If I were living in Germany, I would love to step up for next CeBIT fairs. Fortunately I am not, but Bart (Steccino) and me are probably willing to help on next years fair.<br><br>About the Business-oriented folders... I see an opportunity to do a brainstorming about this on Akademy2008 (BOF-session), though I know that there already is a folder, it is never bad to think big(ger). I suggest I'll try to organise a BOF on this issues (promo in general) and we should all search for the best solutions.<br>
<br>Also a great Idea would be kind of a road-book, in which you can find all necessary information on who to contact, merchandising prices, etcetera to put in the Booth box. I will start working on this asap (though probably not very soon, since I also have Akademy...)<br>

</div>Well actually I hadn't planned to coordinate CeBIT fairs this year anymore.<br>
I'd highly appreciate it if someone else would step up next year to take care<br>
of the coordination. That being said I'm very well aware that this would<br>
require guidance from me, so if you feel like jumping in next year feel free<br>
to speak up.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, and once people realize or know that people spend their spare time they<br>
ask "Why are you here at all? - What does it give for KDE?" :-)<br>

<br>
</div>I hope that once the KDE e.V. will have an office in Frankfurt these things<br>
will get better organised.<br>
<br>
While I think I had things "remotely" under control until Friday I'd like to<br>
apologize for dropping the ball until Sunday morning. Therefore I feel bad<br>
that you guy had to improvise a bit in the end (especially wrt shipment of<br>
the boothbox). On the other hand improvisation is a bit of a necessary evil<br>
on such events.<br>
<br>
