Sigh, another con announcement and no health policy.

You know when you're announcing the travel bursary deadlines,consider if some of those folks who might want to speak or attend and can't afford it may like, need to consider the healthcare side.

As in can't afford to get sick or more sick.

Especially when the conference for the same system on another continent does.

Real European solidarity there folks /s

Like work it out from when the previous year's conference is finishing.

Some of us do want to go and talk, but we do need to plan and scope out the risk to us or our loved ones.

Inclusivity doesn't just mean make a virtual option. It means accessibility and clean air etc. We miss seeing you in person too.

Although I am starting to wonder why. We aren't even an afterthought.

@onepict every single time I asked #europython about it I got largely ignored. Their stance of "we'll do the bare minimum required by the local laws (which is typically nothing nowadays)" just feels terrible, so the advice of "do whatever feels safe for you" results in not engaging at all, not even virtually.

@onepict Agree, but I also had never thought of it, probably because I have never seen one. Is a health policy common? Can you point me to an example of one you think is good?
