As i said in #lgm,  <ankh> the whole point of LGM is to have a physical
meeting

For my part the conference is secondary. If it was a peer-reviewed
academic conference it'd be another matter, as it would affect careers
and funding (and probably also not be interesting :D :D)

Would a good compromise be to have a shared hangout as a possibility,
where people in various projects keep cameras going, and try to make an
extended hacking session with cross-group stuff?? I'm not sure.
