Err... well... no... In the above, I was talking about the main
conference program, one part I'm not involved in, though. Spaking of
the Debian Day, I don't think there was a single English talk.
However, maybe tbm's 'State of the Nation' was delivered in English.
However, before the event started nobody murned bout only German talks
during Debian Day. Hence, I wonder quite a bit...
Could you write a short text which could be used as mandatory document
for a talk during Debian Day next year, which I could adopt on the web
pages?

Joey
