Gabriela: Your thoughts make sense to me - we would dearly love to participate in OSonOS again - but travel costs and time are a problem - we live in Canada and while I would dearly love to travel the world to get to each OSonOS it's just not going to happen. I am grateful for the regional events that keep me in touch with the local community - and this list which keep me in touch with everyone else.
I'm not sure if the low registration is caused by regional events or by the fact that this cyber community is so strong and the need to meet face to face is diminished. It would make sense to me to stagger the two events - because I would like to participate on line (even if not in person) as much as possible and taking time to do that twice in a short time window is difficult. I do wonder sometimes if OSonOS were every second year if more of us would be able to make it at the same time - many people seem to go one year and not the next and while I was able to put a lot of faces and names together in Vancouver there were a lot of faces missing then too. I am glad that yours is one of the faces I was able to meet. Then again, on an every other year schedule if you missed one it would be four years between OSonOSs.
