@yama I feel you, for me it felt like a welcome escape from reality. Maybe keeping in touch with ppl you met could help, or using the energy and inspiration you got to start something new (project, hobby...)

@strayzoey For me it was a bit different, it felt like a glimpse of what reality could be, instead of just escapism.
I definetly got inspired, i think we need to decentralize the concept of congress itself, have it be a per country thing as a first step, not as a replacement, but rather a safety net.

I can only imagine how many people couldnt make it to this event for any number of reasons, be it location or finances, or the ticketing nonsense.

@yama Visit your local hackerspace. If there is none, create one.

@julijane For the latter, easier said than done x.x

@yama The usual advice I've seen go around for years is: eating chocolate, hanging around in a comfy place watching recordings of talks you missed, and/or hanging out at your local hackspace and doing or working on something inspired by Congress - from what I can tell, these things work for a lot of folks

@joepie91 Doubt that will work for me tbh, but thank you regardless :3

@yama Yeah fair, everyone is different! Either way I wish you the best of luck in finding a way that works for you 🙂
