That's what a chief event organisator (ceo) is expected to do, isn't
it? ((c:

BTW, I talked to some of the bigger projects that it might be a good
idea to have some kind of meta booth crew. This was because some
projects have problems to ensure propper booth setup due to the
circumstance that in this year those who set up boothes at the past
events have gone.

Up to now Bernd from OpenOffice.org (who is a professional booth
builder) Wim and Dan from OpenBSD are interested.
Plus Alexander and me that might become a powerfull crew which may be
helpfull organisating bothes.

What is of interest in my eyes is that we will be able to get better
support by hardware vendors and by the officials of trade fairs. For
the second its interesting to reduce the number of projects / people
they have to coordinate.

Uuups, new Info?
Who told so?
Isn't there a so called "OpenSource" Pavillon like this year?

An own Debian booth amongst the bothes of a couple of companies or an
own booth at an "OpenSource" Pavilon?

You talking about the company that supported Systems?

What has to be changed!
I'm working on that...

Who told so?
That has to be changed too, I would say...

Skolelinux DE will join the crew!
CeBIT will take place only two weeks after LOTS Bern, Switzerland I
can't promise in the moment that there will be much more than 6
people from Skolelinux DE.
