In the end, everyone has to decide whether their presence at the conference is worth the price. And I find nothing surprising or disturbing in it if many (or even most) of them - including active members of the community - decide that their answer is negative.
Fair enough, that of course raises the question if we should continue with oSC. Considering that it is a lot of effort for volunteers to pull the conference together. If members and contributors cannot be bothered to show up to our own conference then maybe we should not undertake the endeavour past oSC16.
While certainly deserving consideration, this is quite a leap. Traveling thousands of miles/kilometers to attend a conference of most any nature must be quite down the ladder for anyone whose employement is not dependent upon or who has excess funds, even with subsidized travel. Family, home and community have to remain a greater concern. Continuation of oSC should be weighed on the interest it generates rather than the number of members and contributers who "can be bothered" to attend. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
