@aral @nekohayo I wish we had a more ethical, safer, environmentally better*, and most likely distributed alternative to FOSDEM.
(* Most of the traveling to and from FOSDEM is highly polluting. Many people fly over from all over the world.)
I guess a few smaller "conferences" probably targeted on a few topics throughout the year and hosted on the Internet might work? With meet and greets? Perhaps with smaller in-person spinoff events too? Some of which can be done async as well?
