No, we should cancel. But there’s got to be others, than just me, that would be in Prague if it was held. So planning future hybrid events would be good.

+1

 

Also, agreed that we ought making investing in pushing the envelope of virtual meeting enablement a priority, and dogfooding it. 

 

Tho, ISTM that (for me anyway) it will be a long while before virtual meetings will (if ever) equal the in-person experience, so support having future "hybrid" meetings such that those who are willing and able to travel & gather in-person are also accommodated.
