How far would you travel to attend an in-person Fediverse event?

-
Examples for me:
- Montreal
- Ottawa or Quebec City
- Toronto, Boston or New York
- Mexico City, Vancouver or Los Angeles -

@evan Definitely not anywhere in the US.

@evan i answered region, but what I really mean is if I can reach it by train in less than 8 hours.
-
I'm willing to drive a bit, but I have to plan things like that pretty far in advance.
Leaving the country, getting on a plane -- those things are usually beyond my budget.

@evan I sincerely hope there will be more events in Europe… my transatlantic travel is off bounds because of my small child.
And I wouldn’t set foot in the U.S. for the next 4 years (at least), until there’s a regime change
-
@evan Apparently I can't even travel to the center of my hometown to attend one, especially if an RSVP is required. Hmph. Maybe next year.

@evan You left out "my living room, this meeting could have been an email."

@jwz is this a coded invitation to have a Fediverse event in your "living room", the @dnalounge ...?

@phaysis next year!

@evan exactly! Or (easily) London to the west or Berlin in the East.
-
@evan Is it a distance I can cycle? That's the question that comes to mind.

@_elena I hope so too! FOSDEM 2026 definitely, but maybe sometime before that...?
-
@evan I wouldn’t fly or drive

@evan @dnalounge It was just a joke about how you're taking something decentralized and recentralizing it. That aside, I wouldn't mind hosting such a thing, but probably wouldn't attend because I hate meetings.
