This might come as a shock, but sometimes 300€ plus 30€ for a hotel is
worth meeting people who code physically and in real life. It helps
reduce misunderstandings and mail flamewars, and increases empathy,
trust and helps coordinating things. :-)

Especially if you have a solution that is superior to whatever there is
right now. It's not going to install itself on the OSM servers, even if
the code is publicaly available.
