[Ubuntu-be] reminder: language use

Well, I guess it very much depends on the kind of activities you want
to promote with this list. If you just want to setup events for the
Dutch / French / German communities, then the corresponding languages
are fine. But if you want to open the activities to everybody living
in Belgium, and particularly in Brussels, then I only see English (or
French) as the only possibilities.

On the other hand, I don't see any problem on having messages in other
languages if you're discussing a local activity (then a one line
summary is appreciated). Languages are meant to connect people!

Cheers :-)
