Hi Cedric what dependencies do you have between open and language? A german developer who comment his code in german but release his code to OSS doesn't write open Software???
The Expo is located in Berne (german speaking territory). Therefore german is the most prefered language for people visiting the OpenExpo. So why publish content in english? For people from the uk/usa? The second thing is, that the OpenExpo is organized by /ch/open/ a german speaking Association. The national languages are german, french, italian and Rhaeto-Romanic. Therefore it would be more obvious to publish content in these languages rather than in english. The Swiss Confederation has it's own languages and culture. I am proud of it and against the movement as side-effect of globalisation to accept the english language as pseudo-standard for (inter)national communication. BtW it's interessting that you of all people are holding swissknight.org/.net; The Swissknight - the signboard of switzerland par excellence. So if you like an english spoken Event about OpenSource go to english spoken territory or feel free to organize an Event matching your requirements by yourself. But don't complain about too less attendees. > can we expect conferences to be in english - or in german - anybody knows? Why don't you ask for conferences in french? Your located near geneva, right? Just because we are an open and multicultural country doesn't mean that we have to prefere/equate all foreign languages with the national languages. And if you're an immigrant go and learn OUR culture/language and don't try to force the swiss to become an enclave of your country. Thanks for understanding.. Best regards. G?rald
