 Significant more? Especially in the group of people for which the
LinuxTag is aiming at? I doubt it, definitely. And like others pointed
out, about 1/3rd of the talks were already held in english. I wouldn't
call that too unattractive (though that is of course depending on which
talks that were or what the people are interested in).

 Not in that context, not for that (intent) audience, I guess.

 So long,
