Hi people (sorry for crossposting, please remove the lists that don't apply
when replying),

The presentation should be in English even when the RMLL (Rencontres
Mondiales du Logiciel Libre) have French roots.

The local people will also organise a mapping party on the day which tries
to reach the general public with the concept of free software and free
content. That mapping party will be in French and Dutch (and English of
course for the people from abroad).

We will also set up a stand and hopefully we'll have some goodies to sell
by then. If all goes well we'll have a few PC's too to give people some
immediate hands-on experience as well. The stand will be multilingual as
well.
