OpenExpo Winterthur

September 23 - 24 2009

Booth registered on Jun 19th, still waiting for confirmation...

I just registered an Amarok booth for that event too, specifying to put it with KDE so we could get more space (2 tables instead of one!)

Please, fill in your name, attendance, which specific booth (KDE and/or Amarok) and if you need accomodation (A), so I can get things planned.

We need more people for the KDE booth.

There are at least three hotels in the vicinity, with various room prices. Please check the place where you would like to stay and put it in the comments.
