If not: I asked as there's always been special linguistic emphasis in France: At 1st tech. session at the EUUG in Paris a quarter century ago, ~1982 I had considerable sympathy for the non English native speakers who also didn't speak French, who argued for the conference to be in the English advertised, & not in the French the 1st tech. speaker persisted in. France since passed laws penalising foreign words in the press, & underwent internal debate on what language to publish scientific papers in. Official language of telecoms is French, but Aviation: English, etc. Conference language is a question of particular importance in France. -- Julian Stacey.
