News of the Germanophone project at the Cebit

"Hi all,

I know, that some of you have interest in the marketing activities from the germanophone project, so I would like to give you a short summary of CeBIT 2006 in Hannover (9.03.-15.03.06), where we presented OpenOffice.org.

This year CeBIT celebrated its 20th anniversary and had 6,262 exhibitors, including over 3,300 from abroad.

The germanophone project had a nice booth in hall 4, where also Microsoft, SAP and other small companies exhibited their goods :-) We presented the project together with some companies, which offer services around OOo and which made our booth possible. Additionally we had two lectures in the "LinuxPark".

Please have a look at our summary (german):
