[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Announcement: Call for Location global FOSS4G 2023

[Michael Smith]

I would say that its probably best to think about Hybrid, as this is what is happening for 2022. Essentially you are both right, there are pluses and minuses to each. And we want to support both going forward as there isn’t going to be an approach that works for everyone. Future FOSS4Gs will probably all part virtual and in-person.

Note this is my personal opinion.

    Because we humans are social animals; and people like me, who are almost 
    completely burnt out by not having been outside of their houses for nearly two 
    years, could really use an in-person event to see their friends and their 
    personal heroes.

    I'm not gonna attack Jonathan's points (or even reply to them, risking an 
    episode of sealioning to erode my patience), but I want to make one of my own:

    It's good for our collective mental health. We *want* an in person event, we 
    *hope* for it; which for me is a sign our brains have some demand for it, even 
    if it's intangible.
