Hello,

This is really a good idea ....

Are there any shows in Germany (or at least Europe) where the GNOME Project
will be present within the next few months ?

I probably won't be able to come to the US until LinuxExpo 2000, but if
there's any show here in Europe which is not too far away for me, I'd
gladly help with it ....

Well, I know at least that GNOME will have a booth at the LinuxTag 2000
in Kaiserslautern/Germany which is about 1-2 hours from me.
