Yeah, I saw that yesterday. You'd think they'd send a broadband email to those of us that paid them money so that we could change our plans. The web page says you'll be refunded immediately unless you paid cash in which case it will take longer. I paid by credit but haven't seen any email about getting my money back. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com

I saw Chris Tyler last week before the strike was called, and he was pretty disconsolate about it going ahead. While there might be occasional grizzles on this list about FSOSS, the fact that there is a conference on open things within transit range of us at all is pretty neat. Let's hope it gets going again soon. Cheers Stewart

My post was a bit negative, but you're entirely correct: I've been going for years and have always enjoyed it. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
