TF1 (00:00 to 01:00) in a discusion with
our current Ministry of Interieuere.
If you want to watch such discusions, please don't eat before
or you want to find a paper bag of the right size!

But those improvements are nice suppressed!
If I go to the Uni-Strasbourg and see IT-Students are studying
Informatic 100% in english because only 1% does know english exist!
It is realy frustrating here.
Hell, 70km fare from here in Freiburg/Germany There is not a singel
Informatic student who does NOT speak english.
OK, it is the french politic to force the Students to stay with
there knowledge in France but this is, why we are in a economic
crises.
I am not sure that such things will change in the next 10 years.
The OSS and GNU/Linux Project is nice, since it creates new social
structures (I have gotten many new friends woldwide in the last 7
years) but we all are speaking english without a singel exception.
I feel realy alone here in Strasbourg, THE CAPITAL OF EUROPE!
