There is no way I can go to FOSS4G in a foreign country, but I could likely get to a North American meeting on the West Coast. I'm sure others are in the same boat.
Well, North America's "West Coast" includes the 'foreign countries' of Canada and Mexico, if you live in the USA. If people are saying they can't attend [insert name of OSGeo event here], then it would be useful to state why they can't attend. There is a difference between "travel/accommodation cost is 'too high'" and "my workplace has to authorize the travel, and they do not send people to events outside the continent, regardless of the costs". -- Dave Patton CIS Canadian Information Systems Victoria, B.C.
