Completely agree here — IRL meetups are great for aligning on vision and
plans, particularly around getting agreement on our quality assurance
moving forward, the PureOS store and perhaps increasing our release
cadence, etc.

I currently intend to attend FOSDEM, SustainOSS and CopyleftConf and
thus my availability is already becoming tight, but I would make a
Purism/PureOS meeting the highest priority.

Indeed, Jeremiah, in my experience it is always best to get a date &
time for FOSDEM-related meetups long in advance as there are so many
distractions and so little time combined with sub-par physical
logistics. Speaking directly to that, are you free the mornings of
either 31 Jan, 1 Feb or 2 Feb in the Brussels centre, perchance? From
past years, the evenings and the venue itself tend to get lost/
confused/conflated with huge social things.


Best wishes,
