Dear Osmocom community,
Hi Vadim and all. I haven't been checking in on IRC so much due to being
on the road.
it hurts me to make this statement,
It is pain for everyone. Nobody in our generation in most countries has
gone through anything like this.
After some delay in Mexico (possibly due to the "cry-wolf" aspect of the
previous two (aviar, swine) that shut down Mexico City causing great
suffering to many, I think there's a general acceptance that there is no
place for pandemic skepticism this time.
but unfortunately I have to cancel
my OsmoDevCon 2020 participation in April.
In many places, as you well know, gatherings of even more than 3 people
are being discouraged/prohibited.
We will all be extremely happy of course if the current measures work
and this goes away like swine flu did, but the possibility of not even
being able to have the event in Berlin in April due to lockdown should
be considered?
I know that most participants are EU/Berlin based, and
the event can
still be held. But would it be possible to reschedule it at a later
date? Maybe in summer or autumn the situation would get better?
That would also be nice, - Autumn sounds good!
I already figured I can't attend in April due to being far away and on
the road for work, (not to mention now currently actually ensure if I
might get "locked"-down were I am)
Take care.
