Which conferences are folks attending these days?

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