I suspect a lot of it is that, given people's busy schedules, February seems far away. Also, I wonder how much discussion has happened outside of these lists. Is it really that there hasn't been much feedback? Fabio started this ball rolling, so I would be interested to hear what he's heard. >> Frankly, as might have been obvious ;-), for me the venue is an issue. >> It's not easy to reach, and I'm theoretically fairly close in Germany >> already. >> >> I wonder if we could increase participation with a virtual meeting (on >> either those dates or another), similar to what the Ceph Developer >> Summit does? Requested feedback given; Virtual meetings are never as good, and I really don't like this idea. In my experience, just as much productive decision making happens in the unofficial after-hours activities as during formal(ish) meetings/presentations. I think it is very important that the meeting remain in-person if at all possible. >> Those appear really productive and make it possible for a wide range of >> interested parties from all over the world to attend, regardless of >> travel times, or even just attend select sessions (that would otherwise >> make it hard to justify travel expenses & time off). >> >> Alternatively, would a relocation to a more connected venue help, such >> as Vienna xor Prague? Personally, I don't care where we meet, but I do believe Fabio already ruled out a relocation. >> I'd love to get some more feedback from the community. > > I agree. some feedback would be useful. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?
