i don't agree with this general statement. i think local events/articles 
should be inserted only in the related blogs, main events/articles should be 
hosted in every version.

they are only a few words about the submitting of packages in the repository, 
i will let you have soon an english version (in this ml)

i totally disagree, if an italian lives in germany he must know at least the 
basis of the language where he lives, so in the german blog he can discover 
there is an event near him and if he's interested he could be informed by the  
italian team (or via twitter) (e.g. allow comments in foreign language for 
these kinds of posts and/or write a few words in the major languages spoken 
near the event
