No one said or implied anything like that. Brazil was a whole different kettle of fish and unfortunately things got even more complicated in the country after the bid was accepted. In the case of Brazil I think it was the right choice to go ahead with it, and I believe that it's the right thing to do to support the DC20 team as well, regardless of where someone stand about the host country. There's enough people who want to attend and at this stage it would do more harm to cancel than to go ahead, so imho the right thing to do is to help them where they need it, and if you don't want to attend there, then the MiniDC a few weeks before DC might be a good choice. -Jonathan -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) <jcc> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ https://wiki.debian.org/highvoltage ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ https://debian.org | https://jonathancarter.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be Bold.
