We have never had a presence at CeBIT either large or small, and we felt this year with there being no cost to attend other than travel, accommodation and swag this would be a good chance to test the waters.

CeBIT is a great opportunity to talk with people who know about Mozilla, Thunderbird and Firefox, but who may not be aware of our amazing organization and community. We see this as a chance to learn why people choose Firefox or Thunderbird, and hope we can evangelize why we are different in the quickly changing browser landscape.


Ideally we are attending to learn more about our users, and understand why they have chosen to use Firefox or Thunderbird. We expect to meet technology fans, but of different backgrounds and levels of skill. This is a great learning opportunity for us.

For any community members attending, I (Jane) will be happy to book travel for you. Or if you book alone, your travel/accommodation expenses will be reimbursed.  
We should plan to take the train from Wolfsburg to Hanover Messe station - it is advised to book tickets in advance at the Deutsche Bahn website:
 
http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml
 
== Train Travel Times==
 
Wolfsburg - Hannover morning train times:
 
* 06:55 - 07:28 (ICE)
* 08:05 - 08:37 (IC)
* 08:55 - 09:28 (ICE)

** Depart: 06:55am

We will also book a hire car for the duration of this week, and we should plan to car pool to the venue together each day.

==Accommodation==
==Accommodation==
Finding a hotel room in Hannover is always a fun part of attending CeBIT. I think the best thing is for us to team up and try to get in the same hotel. As soon as I have an idea who is attending and when. I will look to book a hotel. Bear in mind, this might not actually be in Hannover and we will need to drive in each day.  
I found a hotel for us in Wolfburg and have already booked a rooms.  


<b>Address:</b>


NB: I (JF) have tried to research hotels and they are VERY expensive nearby. I have spoken to a few people and they recommend, we stay at Wolfsburg and take the ICE train (35 min train ride) there and back each day. The cost of hotels here is currently much cheaper, and with the cost of a hire car, parking, petrol and the sure fire traffic jams we shall sit in, this seems to be a smart option.
TRYP Hotel Wolfsburg,
Willy-Brandt-Platz 2,
D - 38 440 Wolfsburg

=We need your help!=
NB: Barbara will most likely attend on Tuesday to meet with press contacts and network.
 
In order to make it a successful event, we will definitely need your help! CeBIT is a great opportunity to talk with people who know about Mozilla, Thunderbird and Firefox, but who may not be aware of our amazing organization and community. We see this as a chance to learn why people choose Firefox or Thunderbird, and hope we can evangelize why we are different in the quickly changing browser landscape.
 
We will have a demo station during the whole week, and we would love if you could come help out during those days. The demo point is for a maximum of 2 people at anyone time, but we are looking for 3 people each day in order to rotate when needed and give someone a well earned break.
 
We'd love community members and Mozilla staff to help out - it would be great to have a broad representation of both.
 
As mentioned, we will be conducting a small survey at the demo station and collecting data on browsing, knowledge of open source, which Mozilla products do they know about / use (without any personal information). It will be a web based survey.
 
 
If interested in helping out, please put your name below -- there is no restriction to how many days one can attend! Please just bear in mind that you will need to travel to Hannover, so thinking in blocks of consecutive days would be great.
