Hi Cornelius,

we went to a talk from RMS at the University of Berne the other day,
and by chance we met some OpenExpo folks there. Problem is:

There is currently quite a bit of confusion about what each event
really is. Due to the changes they made, there are now 3 events,
apparently: OpenExpo Berne, OpenExpo Zuerich, and this Forum.
Unfortunately some of them only offer very small booths, basically
just a tiny table where you stand around. We find that unsuitable for
KDE (we need a larger booth), so we are trying to persuade the
organizers to make an exception for us (they did that for another
project too).

I will report back to you once we have better information about that.
Sorry for the confusion caused, but the whole situation really is
kinda confusing... ;)


Regards,
Mark.
