Sadly, this cost is too high to justify attending. I care about OSM, and I have been a silent contributor for years, but spending on plane tickets, acommodation, and on top of that 75-100 EUR to attend the conference, is just too much money for this little hobby of mine. I think it is a sad state when most libre projects I care about charge its own volunteers to gather and improve the community, specially when corporate sponsors could be offsetting this cost. OSM is far from the only one, I am just writing this because I am getting increasingly annoyed by the situation. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
