Thank you for all your hard (ongoing!) work.<br></div><div><br></div><div>It's been heartwarming to see the community support for the choice, in public and on <a href="mailto:info@mch2021.org">info@mch2021.org</a>, including the offers to help with donations/delayed-refunds/... .<br></div><div><br></div><div>"online events" don't really work for me personally, but if there's a couple of energized people who want to form a 'PL' around that I think we should support them (but not call it MCH). If we can make the 'badges' widely available I could definitely see those be a part of longer-running projects, including online asynchonous collaboration, workshops at hackerspaces throughout the years, etc etc. - though TBQH I haven't seen that happen as much as I'd hoped with other badges.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I would like to keep the organization 'alive' for a postponed full-size MCH. Due to conflicts with other events my feeling is that's not really realistic for 2022/2023/2024, but I'd be kinda ok with an MCH2025. If I understood correctly there was some talk about 'disbanding' the current PL and finding a new one to organize the 'new MCH' (whether it's 2022 or 2025). I would much prefer to keep the current structure - though of course it is very understandable if some people want to take some distance.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Just my 2ct,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Arnout<br></div></body></html>
