I am sorry you and other from the committee feel burned out. I was hoping the response I received would be warm and engaging, and not dismissive or imply that my offer to help was just another complaint. I am saddened by this response from you / the committee. I would have liked to thought it was an interesting thread that got more community members involved that otherwise wouldn't. In the beginning of this thread you said, "so far I'm seeing complaints without alternatives" ... ok, so I asked people to help out and start looking for venues. But it doesn't seem that was enough? The last few emails from you and Martin have read to me as you both feel there is nothing to be done. It's very confusing to get a message of urgency and such a finalized stance from you / the committee yet we have three months until the next proposed sprint. I don't see it as irreparable, though. I think the committee could (and should) go out of their way to repair these strained relations. We have three months. Why not engage with and coordinate with the people that have volunteered? Nothing is tying us to host in Stockholm. Now is the chance to really show that there are people here who are willing to help the community. Unfortunately, the message I'm getting is to not bother, though I'd love to be proven wrong. > (One other thing that came up, by way of transparency: we'd like to try and > plan the spring 2019 sprint somewhat soon, with an eye towards pulling off > the Asia-based sprint we've talked about for something like 3 years.

My attempts to engage people and get them involved in the community were unsuccessful and have depleted me of volunteering energy. For now, I'll take the weekend off and contemplate on how I can help the community in other ways.
