in germany most multi-day grassroots events are scheduled between christmas and newyear, most famously the CCC. because that is the time when people are most likely free even if they have a job, and those days expressly do not have any religious significance. but any weekend that is extended with a mostly religious holiday is used as opportunity for many groups.
- woodruffw 3y agoAs an outsider, I wouldn't have considered SUSECon to be a "grassroots event." It seems like a corporate conference to me, and it's historically been hosted outside of Germany (including in places like the US). (This doesn't mean I buy this guy's story; I don't.)
- em-bee 3y agoi didn't mean to include SUSEs choice here, just for comparison, that in germany the days been christmans and newyear are generally not respected, but also that they need not be because they are not religious holidays, in contrast to the jewish holidays which are.
