Dunno what I was searching for, but I stumbled upon this.
Unfortunately, I don't speak German, heh, and Babelfish isn't quite up
to par, but anyways, better than nothing. It's pretty short, though,
so in theory somebody could probably manually translate it for us in
like an hour or so (no pressure, heh).

But it does seem to link to here, which has some video talk of Prof.
Gutknecht (I presume) in English.

The Babel Fish link gave me an error so I tried Google Translate instead:

Well, the problem was that the auto-translate suggestion in Chrome
(Google Translate) doesn't seem to work for me, so I had to find
another way. I'm not sure either is really "great" (see "Blödsinn",
heh), but I guess better than nothing.

Anyways, interesting seeing some of the videos from "Oberon Day 2011",
e.g. the resident expert here, Mr. Chris Burrows! ;-)

Well, now that I've seen the video footage, I can say it was
interesting. Luckily all of it was English (except Günter Feldmann,
but at least his slides were English). Though of course the first half
of McGaw's might as well have been otherwise (confusing!).
