I attended The Perl Conference (formerly YAPC) in Pittsburgh two weeks ago -- the team putting on the conference were hoping for 150 attendees but ended up with 170 folks, and four streams of talks. There were presenters and attendees there from a number of companies ("We're hiring!"). My impression is that face to face meetings beat any electronic interaction. I talked to about a dozen folks -- it was much easier in person than on IRC or on a mailing list. On Tue, Jul 9, 2019 at 11:55 AM Lennart Sorensen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

What happened to these conferences ?
Is Linux development and/or interest in Linux dying out ?
Seems companies are less willing to pay for people to go conferences, and more stuff seems to be happening online these days.
That's my impression at least.
