[โ] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 point 3 hours ago (3 children) Not everybody lives in Brussels? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [โ] seszett@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (2 children) Well of course, but it's probably one of the easiest cities to reach for the most people, given its location. It's not like it was in Perth or Irkutsk, Brussels is not per se an expensive place to reach, and most visitors are probably just from France, Benelux or Germany. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 point 3 hours ago (1 child) Easy doesn't mean cheap. And not everybody can take of work to visit. I know I can't. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [โ] seszett@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago I know but... Fosdem is still one the cheapest conferences to attend all things considered, and on a weekend so most people don't need to take time off, so I just don't get your comment about having money. It's clearly not targeted at rich people is what I mean, and not attended especially by people who can afford a mac. But some sessions are probably more attractive to a certain type of attendee than others. permalink fedilink source parent
