All the previous replies have good ideas. We should definitely enable
remote hackfests.

It's good to do community task in reasonable time.

Hi Philip,
First of all, thanks for awareness on this issue.
As the board, I think we can make 2 areas of impact here: to add
(hard/soft) requirements to the travel policy and to give guidelines
for events. Whether the decisions we make should be considered as
rules/guidelines or hints will of co

Hi Philip and thank you for the question,
I currently have little insight into how environmental impact factors into
the cost-benefit analyses that the Foundation carries out in relation to
meetings, events and general expenditure so my answer will be fairly broad
and a bit open-ended perhaps.

I work for a company which has over 100,000 employees, all of whom it

Cloud computing actually represents the future of innovation,

avoid.
"Cloud computing" is a nebulous term; it means using Internet servers.
There are many ways to use servers; some pose ethical problems and
some don't. Even if

Perhaps it is time for the GNOME community to find ways to better
advertise itself.
