(Not that we haven't had some great talks over the years, of course!) Flock provides an opportunity for people who generally interact with each other only via email, IRC or in rare cases video-chat. I think attempting to convert Flock to an online-only event would result in losing the most important part of the event. In which case, I don't think that would be budget well-spent. Maybe we could convince our sponsors to let us put the budget aside to fund more people to attend in 2021? _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
