I also do not understand this decision as from my understanding and beliefs, the decision enters the realm of the spirit of competitiveness...holding one global OST event at the same time as another global OST event, that involves some of the same people, creating the situation where people must choose which event they attend. I believe that a decision made in the spirit of co-operation and unity will place these important events alongside of one another or at different times.
It is unfortunate that the dates collide but I also remember that considerable discussion of those dates occurred here on the OSLIST, and somehow we all missed the possible conflict. Speaking just for myself, I didn't have a clue when Genuine Contact was connecting, so if there was anything like a competition, I missed all that totally. As Lisa points out -- the Goa dates were set in the window between monsoons and high season rates. Given the choice between getting wet and blown away or going bankrupt -- I choose neither. So for me it is On to Goa! -- and we can certainly WIKI our way together.
