Don't forget to say that Belgium is partly german too... For those who alreayd think belgium that Belgium is complicated, please learn that we also have 7 governments ; the "federal" one (for the whole country), 3 for each region, and 3 for each community. Take in accounting that one cannot work for the federal governement as well as for the regional one, but well for the community (or something like that), and the region of brussels is in the flemish community while 85% of its residents speak french... And we organise FOSDEM in there...
Ikke ps : just for the fun, our futur prime minister who already tried for 6 months to set up a governement before we fall back to the old one, already has an ulcer due to belgium politic stress... pps : I'll be in fosdem too On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 1:39 PM, Tom Van Looy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually, it's the Netherlands that speak a slightly modified version of > dutch.
