I understand and appreciate your feelings in this situation, but I really am sorry I didn't attend your meeting and that I canceled at such short notice, but something really did come up. If I could have come to the meeting to do the talk, I would have done so. Although I don't usually share details of my personal life, I will do so in this case as it is necessary; shortly beforehand, one of my friends was hospitalized and I had to go see them and I had other concerns in my immediately family too. Everything happened at once and after all that, I just didn't have time to travel to Manchester. Your frustration is understandable, however, since you didn't know the above. Barring any tragic events, I do indeed keep my word and show up to do talks that I promise to do. Hell, I flew to USA 3 times (libreplanet 2015, FSF30, libreplanet 2016) to do talks about Libreboot; I missed the 3rd one (libreplanet 2016 libreboot talk), because I was on a train and it was running late, so I missed the talk (but 2 other people did the talk in my place, in that event). I also showed up on time to both FOSDEM talks that I did about Libreboot, in Belgium. Manchester is not that far away by comparison. If I could have come, I would have done but I'm telling you, I really couldn't have. - -- Leah Rowe Libreboot developer Use free software.
