Well, there are certainly plenty of Canonical employees in Oregon, for instance, working on Ubuntu, but we're mostly heads-down these days and not focused so much on the local community interactions after hours. I would blame the pandemic, but the truth is it's been that way for years before. Most (if not all) of the Canonical employees are in the Portland area, and the last time there were folks getting together in person it was down in Salem, so also really not a practical for most of us to attend. I long ago lost track of how the loco stuff is handled within the larger Ubuntu community, if someone were to resurrect the Oregon LoCo that would be great to see! -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
