b) some people don't arrive due to flight cancellations, or they were a<br>
close contact of a covid case or anything else and the volunteers who do<br>
arrive have to do the work for everybody who is blocked from travel<br>
<br>
There is actually a huge amount of work that volunteers do before any<br>
event and this uncertainty is an extra burden for them.<br>
<br>
If the volunteers are happy to accept those risks it is fine but I don't<br>
think anybody can complain if they simply go with another online FOSDEM<br>

I suspect there are more of us who would do the same. </div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">-Seth<br></div></div></div>
