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,
