One of the reasons I think it's important to keep the type of conversation that was a part of #mastoparle going is because we ARE still building a regular conversation. Just like @clhendricksbc says, we will miss several of these events - but we still need them.

We should take chances to raise the profile of what we do here, but more importantly, we should keep doing those things, and work to build our community. It's a VERY good community, after all.
