It will be good to see you again there. I can see that a few people bought tickets via that wallet and I suspect some will have done it by other means. There are all the speakers that have been announced too, so I would hope there will be a fair few. It would be great to get back to the numbers we had in Lisbon and Krakow. I know there will be some first-timers I want to meet.
It's good that different people have taken on organising these events (decentralised!). We really need events on every continent so that everyone has a chance to meet more Hivers. I think that is already happening to some extent even if they are smaller scale. It all counts.
I just hope the turnout makes it worthwhile for the organisers to keep on hosting the HF. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to do these things but you can never guarantee the turnout, sometimes till the last minute.
Me too. We have to be realistic about the size of the active community, but there are a lot around Europe. I'd encourage people to come along and it's always fun.
