Don’t get me wrong—I deeply value the opportunity to meet, in person, all the people I’ve collaborated with for years. There’s something very special about finally getting to hear their voices without the distortion or delay that comes with video calls, to experience things together in cities I’d never dreamed of visiting because I never thought I’d have a chance to do so.
What I’m saying is, we shouldn’t have FOSDEM as the only conference or the only way we can cross paths and find each other.
