Johan,
I agree with another topic for the closing session.
See my other mail: we should prepare one or two questions, and then
there is room for one or two questions from the audience.
I think the audience is curious about what open source is all about, and
why we are so motivated to defend it.
@Maëlle:
@Moritz: I think the round table should be in Dutch and in French.
Maybe Maëlle can replace Berdien or Oliver to have a better balance
between the languages?
Dirk
