Some weeks back (I'm late getting the minutes out; my apologies) a small team (Bruce, Honnappa, Thomas, Jim, Ashley, Jill, Rachel, and Emily) met to discuss the options and come up with a plan.

We discussed whether it would be the week before FOSDEM or after. There is a conflicting event the week prior, thus the week after was chosen. As of today that would be February 7-8, 2022.

FOSDEM announced they are virtual in 2022
