Are you going to meetups/conferences?


For those that used to attend in-person technical events before 2020, are you going again?

It feels to me like the US is slower to return to in-person events than other parts of the world.

I've tried several times and never understood what i was doing there...

Not unless I'm forced to. Even before the pandemic, it was really hard to justify the time and expense in attending these things.

Almost never now, and I used to go to lots. In fact I've launched https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/ to try to promote virtual tech events that include community participation instead.

Our local Linux group meets every month. It has become far more general tech focused but still there is always something new that gets demoed. https://humlug.com
