Ubuntu Developer Summit To Be Held Online, More Frequently (OMG Ubuntu)Ubuntu Developer Summit To Be Held Online, More Frequently (OMG Ubuntu)Posted Feb 26, 2013 22:25 UTC (Tue) by nsheridan (subscriber, #39891)Parent article: Ubuntu Developer Summit To Be Held Online, More Frequently (OMG Ubuntu)
I think it's a bad idea to go online-only. Flying people around the world is costly and can be exhausting, but there are a few benefits which are not provided by hangouts:
- hallway conversations which produce ideas. It's hard to manufacture these encounters in an online-only setting. - social activities. Getting dinner and beer with the people you work with creates better working relationships.
I suspect there's a middle ground. Like having 3 online UDS meetups, and 1 in-person one per year.

The problem with UDS is that is has grown out of any reasonable venues. Last UDS was at Bella Center, the scandinavias largest conference center. Renting it for a week must have been costly.
I think they will have still smaller focused meatspace meetings in future.
