The Intergeo will be 5.-7. October 2010
(http://www.intergeo.de/de/deutsch/index.php)

So it would be quite sportiv to get the german version till then. I think
we are fine for this year to provide the english version.

There is still the job to do to get some hundred dvd printed and so on.

There will be a presentation part on Intergeo where we could present the
project and show the slides from Cameron. There is not so much text and
the presentation could be in german

I would guess it is already too late. But maybe Cameron and the packaging
team have to decide this.

Anyway you already could do the translations for the next version.

Have a good flight.
