Why should a CeBIT visitor come to your booth?
Meet GOsa² and its developers physically at CeBIT, and we'd be happy to answer all questions!
Who do you make your software for?
GOsa² solicits input from the community and customers, whose suggestions get continuing attention and become part of the software.
