While it would be great to have some streaming LFNW talks/sessions, that is
not the main value of the Fest to me. In fact, most years I never get a
chance to see a single talk. At our Ubuntu table in the "vendor" room, we
get a chance to talk with users, prospective users, friends old and new,
and other vendors while most folks are in the talks. The "hall track" at
LFNW -- like most conferences -- is at least half the value of getting
together.

I fully understand that that is not possible this year for important
reasons, I very much do not want us to move to a "streaming only" model.
There is loads of great content on YouTube and free alternative video
sites, but none of them are at all like attending LinuxFest Northwest!

I will miss seeing all of you this year very much.
