2) ONE LAST BOOTH -> SPONSORED!
===============================
One last booth (#613) is still free. It has 9sqm (3m x 3m) and was reserved 
for Sun microsystems. As they are to much involved in the Cebit at this time 
they can't come by themselves, but they would sponsor it if the exhibitor is 
willing to show some Sun products.
My favourite would be if somebody with office and desktop products will show 
up, like KDE / Kontact / OpenOffice.org / OpenGroupware. This would fit into 
the fair quite well.

3) SCHEDULE FOR THE INFO CORNER
===============================
Some groups applied for presenting themselves at the info corner. They have to 
make up a schedule when they will be at the booth. It is important to ensure 
that all the time of the fair there are enough people at the booth to cope 
with all the visitors.
You will room for one poster at the wall and one flyer on the table (each 
group) to represent yourself. Hewlett-Packard is giving us four desktop 
machines an one server for the info corner for demonstrating free software on 
them.

Please fill in at the wiki page when you will be there:

4) SPONSORS PROVIDING YOU MATERIAL
==================================
We have to important sponsors which will provide you with material:
- Stepnet sponsors computers
- WKS sponsors furniture

Both need information from you what you need.
Please apply for computers or furniture until Monday, 05-03-14.

There is also a wiki page for this:

5) UPDATE OF THE EXHIBITORS LIST / BOOTHS
=========================================
As always, our exhibitors list has changed again. Attached you'll find the 
updated plans.
All exhibitors which had registered until 03-05-10 were listed in the fair 
magazine which is in production right now.
