@hobu @rjhale1971 @GeoDon Aside from the "getting old" and "family time" arguments which I totally share, there also is the environmental impact that should definitely be taken into account.
Having hundreds of people flying to conferences to attend the equivalent of a few hours of talks is not durable. We ( and #OSGeo namely ) should favor local events more, as well as hybrid events.

At @oslandia for example, we try to find less carbonated ways of communicating.

It's still a car so there will be pollution but net, they are better in terms of climate change.

[#Abstractions - Episode 1] Abstract #photography offers the possibility of observing #nature, the surrounding #landscapes, from a new perspective, under a different light - while mastering its #CarbonImpact.

The result is a new series called “Abstractions”. Ultimately, it will be made up of numerous shots taken in familiar locations - less than 15 km from the city of #Revel (Occitanie region, France): https://www.culturediff.org/english/ocabstract1.htm

I find it nice that PKP Intercity, the main Polish railway company, informs you on the ticket how much CO2 your journey produced, and that it is much less than if you took the journey by car or plane.

Trying to assess #CarbonImpact of a remote organisation's video conferencing – anyone can recommend tools? I came across this blog and associated #CarbonCalculator https://davidmytton.blog/zoom-video-conferencing-energy-and-emissions/
Is there something more appropriate for using at scale? Is there a person/meeting-hour CO2e for Zoom for example? Which teleconferencing services are most transparent about the impact of using their tools?

At current rates we'll run out of the carbon budget to hold global temperature increase to 1.5C ... in 9 years. 30 years for 2C. And our burn rate is still increasing, not even stabilizing
