[<humor hat on>We are small enough as it is, if anybody wants to divide this group into Flamish/Brabanders/the one with hats on/men-women, please do.<humor hat off>] Communicating in English has nothing to do with keeping/loosing your cultural identity, it is what it is: communicating with a group of people that have a different native language to do some good for ubuntu. If your english isn't very well nobody will react irritated when you speak in your native language (except if it is in an extreme form of 'Vloanderss' ;-).
