And, lest anyone think we all operate in isolation, we do get together
periodically to discuss venues, selection and combination.  The last
big in-person meeting on this topic was at Plumbers in Vancouver in
2019, where we had Plumbers, KS/MS, LSF/MM and the LF conference people
all represented.

And, for everyone who gave us feedback in the Plumbers surveys that co-
locating with a big conference is *not* what you want because of
various problems like hallway track disruptions due to other conference
traffic and simply the difficulty of finding people, the current model
under consideration is one conference organization (the LF) but two
separate venues, sort of like OpenStack used to do for their big
conference and design summit to minimize disruption and increase
developer focus.
