I want to put in my agreement with Talia's second point that we should move to
a model in which deadlines are frequent and cheap to miss (as is the case in
every discipline that is lucky enough to be based on journals)

I would like to add another way of covering costs that is often used in
communal places: Anyone gives whatever they can, which may be nothing. This

Dear types-list,
Going on a tangent from Flavien's earlier post: I really think that online
conferences should be free.
Several conferences (PLDI for example) managed to run free-of-charge since
the pandemic started,

I am in broad agreement with many of Flavien's points. I hope that we can
