Comments on: Live Draft :: Open Spaces: Diana Larsen http://sadekdrobi.com/2007/03/16/live-draft-open-spaces-diana-larson/ Sadek Drobi Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:36:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Eric http://sadekdrobi.com/2007/03/16/live-draft-open-spaces-diana-larson/#comment-63 Eric Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:55:13 +0000 http://sadekdrobi.com/?p=184#comment-63 Sadek, Our OpenSpace conference will certainly be mostly in French, simply because I expect 95% participants to be French-speaking. The spoken language will derive from participants' wishes anyway. That said, the IT community is quite open and most people speak reasonable English, and I expect that a non-French speaker would probably feel quite at ease. In fact, we are hoping to get a few non-French speaking people to come over. That should make things easier. I went to the Sun Tech Days in Paris this week, and it seemed to me that no attendants had any problem understanding the talks in English which were no less successful that the other ones. Thanks for the pictures you gave me the other day. Good thing you are trigger-happy with your camera ;-) Eric Sadek,

Did you take more pictures (especially of the planning board and of the breakout sessions)? What were the themes suggested for each session?
