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. | |||
