I noticed that too. However there is realtime translation by volunteers, and they seem to do a good job.

Some of the live streams allow you to select an English audio stream.

When it was still on-location, many people focussed on interacting with other folks, having a drink (see: Tschunk) rather than stand in line to get into one of the Leipzig trade fair halls. Think of it as a big makerspace (Back in Hamburg, both activities were generally intermingled, due to that location being more approachable for such a "living room" atmosphere)

Yes, when it was still in Hamburg it was fabulous.

My talk / performance on https://ossia.io the 30th will be in english :)

Cheers, look forward to it.

> Just me or are the talks this year mostly in German?

The German talks appear to be largely political, concerning issues one probably wouldn't care about anyways if one does not speak German. For instance there's a talk about making Hamburg ad-free.

With few exceptions the things that may be interesting to an international audience are in English.

I don't think making cities ad free in general isn't interesting to anyone who's not a German, let alone lives in that specific city

There is no in-person conference this year.

One thing to watch for is that some of the German talks confusingly have English titles.
