First I totally agree with Online Conference, but on the other
hand I don't think this will fly in this community, because for
what I see unfortunately Walter is trapped in the past and for
him it's: in-person meeting or NOTHING.
I came to this conclusion after seeing his responses in this
thread, like:
I'm pretty upset about it, I was really looking forward to it.
But we really had no choice.
Well we have a choice, online meeting.
Next year, we're going to have it even if a meteor strike is
imminent :-)
I know it's a sarcasm, but by this response he prefer to put
people's life in risk instead of trying an online version and
see how it goes.
There's just nothing like an in-person meeting, and hefting a
pint with friends and colleagues that makes our differences
melt away.
Of course, but in this case an online version would be better
than nothing.
In the end Walter could have said let's try something online
and see how it works, but there were no incentive, and this is
strange in the period of time where meeting online is pretty
standard and cheaper for many of us.

That was such an ignorant interpretation, Sasha, you're simply
accusing the guy of being this and that just because he didn't
use the words you'd like. Grow up please.
