John, I agree the OOoCon is very good, but you seemed to ignore the second part of my email ... how about having *two* conferences a year - maybe OOoCon "face to face" in April and a virtual one in October or something like that. But I suppose having two a year runs the risk it all getting "too much."
Just an idea...

I see the issues, but nontheless, I'm against stopping the OOoCon! OOo is one of the OSS projects with the least amount of own events taking place, compared to other projects. If we now move our annual conference to a virtual thing instead, this is a bad sign and won't help us in getting new volunteers, it would even do the contrary...
