Hi Alexandra,

Sorry for me being off the net for soooo long, but i've been out for
medical reasons for quite some time now.
For one, i asked the organizers whether there is any recommendations
hotel-wise or hostel wise or whatever. I hope to get an answer on that
soon and i will let you know. My intention is to book for all people
involved and willing to take this standard booking, if you prefer the
Four Seasons (and are willing to pay for it ;-) feel free to do so
*gg* but let me know so i don't book a second room for you...

I will be at CeBIT the last of its days where we will have the Booth
box and all equipment needed for it. I will go there by car - and if
that's OK with the rest of the crew i'll take it back home to austria
and bring it to Bern, that saves a lot of shipping costs i guess.

This was question #2 in my email to the organizers - i'll let you know

There's some videos of KDE 4 bling around, some of them where shown at
the KDE 4.0 Release Event, i still got them on my box. It would be
nice to have one screen mounted high just showing some of these
videos, and yes, maybe additional screencasts. Not sure whether we'll
be able to do so properly though, as we'll have a hard time mounting
the small TFTs in the boothbox at a prominent spot not constantly
couvered by people, and i don't know any swiss companies where we
could rent something big(tm) for a good price.

Thanks for the questions, and sorry for me being absent for so long,
but i was explicitly denied any access to computers and the internet
in the last month...

heck, yay, it _is_ sunny :-)
