I suppose it comes down to how much money the OOoCon coordinators are willing to put into it. Having a virtual conference would save tons of money plus make it far more accessible to those too busy to actually attend the conference or can't afford it.
Maybe it could be split so part of OOoCon is "real life" and another part is virtual. Unless you had a virtual conference 6 months after an OOoCon so you have a conference every six months.

Thus, having a virtual OOoCon in addition to the regular ones is good for me, but I want to have at least one conference per year "in real life" :-) Florian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
