[...] Hello, I am lacking a broad view but I think for pretty much all of western/central Europa attendance is not going to be an option. Borders are still closed and it is going to take another three weeks to just open *some* _inner_ European borders (like between Germany and Austria, where there has not been a good reason to keep them closed for at least two weeks.) As I said I am lacking a broad worldwide view. But if you asked me whether there was any chance of having something like Debconf in Austria/Germany/Switzerland sometime in July or August, I would answer "No" with 99.9% confidence. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
