One of our early — and still applicable — recommendations was for conference organizers to communicate and publish the date when they expect to make the decision for their in-person conference.

My kid is very persistent. At age 7 he decided he wanted to learn the art of blacksmithing. For the last four years, he saved nearly every dollar he earned or was gifted for a blacksmithing forge and tools.

While some of his persistence is a bit infuriating I can’t get too mad, because my dad tells me I was exactly the same when I was his age.
