[Milan-pm] R: Milan PM February 2009 Monthly Meeting

[Michele Beltrame]

Hi Barbara!

Well, it is to some extent. However, PM groups use local languages when
meeting locally, and I easily see the point of this. Also regional
workshops (Italy, France, Germany, ...) are mainly held in the country's
language except for talks held by foreign speakers.

I, too, tend to use Italian when writing in Italian mailing lists,
unless there's a specific reason to use English. In this case, the
specific reason is Marcos, who is putting a lot of effort to build a
community in Milan, so English is very welcome in this case. I would,
however, definitely consider translating the web site:

http://milan.pm.org/

in Italian as well.

Talk to you soon,
Michele.
