- remote events under different branding like "sync" would be useful
- Timezones are tricky, but we are possibly too late for APAC in our default timeslots
- Having a US West, US East, and Europe targets
  - Fossy and LinuxFest NW were mentioned during the meeting and will be looked at
  - A meetup or something at Open Infra Summit might be possible
Vague idea about doing a survey.
- Want to track sentiment/awareness regularly for longitudinal data

- Not sure how to deliver and minimize selection bias
