"OSMF organised conferences (State Of The Map) should continue to be at
least self-financing."

As long as this continues then I see no reason to believe that SOTM will
stop (especially this years which has already been confirmed to be held in

Hold tight, these things take time to organise. If you are able to help,
then get in touch with Henk who will appreciate the help.
