Look, all of these can be true: - the fosdem organisers cannot be trusted to enforce a CoC violation - they have no covid safety concept that would allow at-risk folks to attend safely - open hard- and software is the only way forward in this increasingly enshittified and enclosed software world - the list of people I’d love to meet who are attending is a mile long - building communities is more important than ever while the forces in power enshrine divide and conquer into the fabric of our societies - meeting in-person is effective to forge new bonds and deepen existing relationships - we must continue to demand better from organisers - see you on Brussels

I'd gone in 2017 but not 2018, then went in 2019 and felt pretty uncomfortable as a half Indian man. After being so used to diverse and inclusive spaces it was incredibly jarring, so I'm sorry for how worse it would've been for you!
