You posted this in English, but then Ruby-Talk is an English list,
so my question is: What is the language to be used at the
conference? [Apart from Ruby :-), of course!]
    [...]

The language will be English (unless all visitors are able to understand German).

Regards,

  Michael

The language will be English (unless all visitors are able to understand German).

OK, thank you. I’m interested in this, but if my attending were to
trigger the transition from German to English for everyone else,
then I’d rather not inconvenience so many people. But it might not
be just me, I suspect (given the geographical spread of leading
Rubyists) there will be others who don’t speak German.

Regards,

Michael

    Thank you.

We all speak some kind of “English” :slight_smile: and of course Ruby.
I think the more people from different countries and different
background we are, the more we might all get out of that conference.

Looking forard to see many of you there,
-Armin.

This will not be the case.

That’s why we called it “European” and not “German Conference”
(of course people from outside the Europe are very welcome).

OK, it sounds like you have decided on English, if the unless clause
is not triggered? :slight_smile:

And: of course you are entitled to have it in German as you are the
hosts! :slight_smile: That would not exclude non-Europeans either, or only in a
similar way to having any specific language.

Michael

   Thank you,
   Hugh (Wondering when the first Esperanto Ruby Conferecne
   might be :-))
