I think most of the people going to a physical conference is for the interaction with the speakers and peers. I guess if the organization can arrange the zoom calls with plenty of interactions among speakers and attendees, the fee is probably still justified.</div>

Hi Kirill,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the invitation, the openness and transparency are very much<br>
appreciated.<br>
<br>
Now, for the issue at hand, I expect it will be quite hard for people to<br>
justify the registration cost for a fully-virtual event, when the slides<br>
and recording will be posted online and publicly available a few days later.<br>
<br>
I don't know how past LUG attendees feel about this, but I'm concerned<br>
charging users $175 for the privilege to attend LUG 2022 through Zoom may<br>
not be exactly aligned with OpenSFS' missions of promoting Lustre usage,<br>
increasing awareness and expanding its community.<br>
<br>
Anyway, that's my $.02.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
-- <br>
Kilian<br>
