I wish to add two things to what Scott wrote: First, two purposes for the conference have been recognized to date:
1) to facilitate planning relevant to 9.1 and beyond, 2) to build trust and relationships between community members. Given present realities, three options have been proposed: a) travel scholarships b) postponement, e.g. to Fudcon in January c) remote participation We all recognize that goal (1) can be conducted effectively by remote means (c) but I doubt that goal (2) can be achieved in this fashion. The question is therefore how to provide for goal (2). While I could certainly accept a consensus forming around option (b), I happen to think that (2) is so important that, like Scott, I would be honored to fund travel and to supply room and board for one or two scholarships if others felt the same way.
