(quoted from http://savagemeetskeypad.blogspot.com/ )

Will it be held in finnish, swedish or english? The former two would be okay, but sadly i don’t understand the first one (however awesome it is :stuck_out_tongue: )

I will forward your question to Ronja.

Oh, good point, forgot to put that on the ad.

It will be held in Finnish, but everyone in Finland knows English so there will always be someone to translate everything. Other languages will be translated if there’s someone who can in the room.
