Sadly, this cost is too high to justify attending. I care about OSM, and
I have been a silent contributor for years, but spending on plane
tickets, acommodation, and on top of that 75-100 EUR to attend the
conference, is just too much money for this little hobby of mine.

I think it is a sad state when most libre projects I care about charge
its own volunteers to gather and improve the community, specially when
corporate sponsors could be offsetting this cost. OSM is far from the
only one, I am just writing this because I am getting increasingly
annoyed by the situation.
