It is a shame that many of us speak on a day-to-day basis without even knowing the faces of our friends and associates. Perhaps I'm just old-fashioned, thinking this way. Notwithstanding, considering the geographically distributed and generally niche nature of the Gentoo community, a meet-up in even the largest and most populous of cities is unlikely to yield enough participants to cover the cost of the venue. We would have to generalise the potential clientele. Perhaps a meet-up for all users and developers of the various source Linux distros. I'm sure that would attract some interesting characters, lol. (Obviously, the current issues in the world would prevent any sort of meet-up anyway, although some sort of physical conference could be pleasant in a few years when the entire world has reverted to some description of normality.) -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
