[OSGeo Suomi] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Language Specific Lists Summary

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Please welcome,

both in Finnish and in English. I will gladly act as an interpreter 
between the community and Finnish members who haven't got or are afraid 
that they don't possess the language sklls needed. But like Ari was 
refering, computers and the language used with them is mainly English 
based and we have a solid foundation using English both in technical and 
in other context here in Finland.
Eli jos joku tarvii apua Openlayersin kanssa, ottakaa yhteyttä, niin 
katson jos voin auttaa. Aika ja taidot ovat minullakin rajallisia, mutta 
yritys on kova. ;-)

cheers,
- mika -
