Ok folks, since you are so upset at the many German talks, what about
changing this and do something constructive instead of just lamenting
and abusing bandwidth. What about you submit a talk in ENGLISH next
January/February when the Call for Papers will be published?
Also, if there should be a Debian Day next year, I expect all talks to
be delivered in english or another widely used non-German language.
