Sorry guys, but you were pushing to make FLOSS-meeting within Switzerland. 
Swisslinux.org and many groups were asking for a common calendar since many 
years. Now we have such calendar since you made it. You used a nice free 
software piece already translated in many language... I do not see the point 
to separate Switzerland in two parts.

I express a strong desire as former Swisslinux.org president and for the long 
quest of making connection between German and French speakers in Switzerland. 
And I would like to have a SINGLE calendar for Switzerland.

It wont delayed you since the translation of your calendar tool is already 
available (see : http://www.freie-termine.ch/preferences.php). I provide you 
very haply with code that detect the language of the browser and set 
automatically the language... even if I am sure there exist thousand of such 
code.

I already lobby to Swisslinux.org and Le Gull such that they provide a list of 
their events to freie-termine.ch and I have some contacts with the Neuchâtel 
Lug. I would see it as a very big disappointment that you do not want to try 
to connect Switzerland and exclude events that happens in Switzerland but in a 
different speaking part of the country.

Best regards,
François Bianco
