I would love the idea of a virtual FUDcon. I am based in Canada, but due to
our only 2 air carriers, the prices for flying anywhere is extremely
expensive (3 hour flight, for example, is CDN $1000+). However, we have some
selection of ISPs and being able to attend virtually would be the ideal
option for us. Not quite the same as being there, but better than nothing. I
would definitely partake in that, even if there was a charge involved for
access to it.
