They might have shortened it a bit to 6 days, 
www.cebit.de has 3rd to 8th of March in 2009.

This is what I was trying to say: For the Kolab-Konsortium this is
a lot of work, so we are probably not doing it, unless we can staff
the booth.

Also we might not apply for a gratis booth, as we are a commercial entity
(doing Free Software - that is, even most "expert"-magazines do not understand 
this fine line).
