I also like the proliferation of OSonOS events around the world, in local, regional and international contexts. I also have limited time and financial budget to attend events. I have enjoyed the opportunity to travel to various locations with a good chance that there would be about 50% from the place where it is held and 50% from around the world.
I'm working with a client that has video face to face with telemedicine all across the Province. I know large corporations do it across the world so that you can see pictures as well as hear voices. We're not there yet in the OSWorld community. There are real limits to asynchronous, typed conversations for me even those they are of some real value. The face to face connections and support are not things I can get from a virtual event. Hugging my computer monitor is just not the same. So, I support a focus on a World Wide event where the chance of worldwide participation is high. So I can connect to both old and new friends. Maybe that is no longer possible in our virtual and tension filled world, but I still want it.
