<br>
Nowadays I tend to attend LF-managed confs. I don't think there's 100%<br>
overlap with e.g., FOSDEM attendees but they tend to fill a niche. In<br>
theory there's "SupplyChainSecurityCon" there, which I think does pull<br>
in a bunch of people. I've heard positive stuff about OSS Summit this<br>
year around.<br>
<br>
I myself am aiming to attend plumbers later this year -- I'm hoping I see<br>
some of you there!<br>
<br>
For good or bad, I think there's a mix of the different types of OSS<br>
folks in r-b. In a sense this leaves meeting r-b folks as an "accident"<br>
rather than the primary reason for conference travel.<br>
<br>
I wonder if co-location with another conf would help people prioritize<br>
the "right conf." It may just be a matter of signaling r-b presence in a<br>
conference as first class. For me, it'd help me choose which of the 20<br>
conferences that happen each year is the one I should aim for.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
