Hoi,
For me this is a negative approach, it is all about costs and there is no
consideration of benefits. When you consider a conference with over 100
people, you CANNOT replace it by digital means. You will not have the
conversations made possible by being there in person and getting to meet
other people learn to know them, appreciate them, respect them.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,
I'm glad that this conversation is going in a positive direction.
I have spent the last several days contemplating that after the events of
this summer, if I see WMF in any way associated with a surprise, I get a
stress headache and wonder what new problem has started. If I had a more
positive view of WMF, while I wouldn't have sent the WMF site "on strike"
in the way that WMF did it, I'd probably have bypassed this issue and moved
on to something else.
I'd like to suggest that going forward we change the title of this thread
to something like "Wikimedia travel, environmental costs, and financial
costs" to reflect the broader scope of this discussion,
Pine
