This is depressing, I'd expect people at these events to be more informed and less ignorant than the general public.
Ideally the reports would also be coming in in the same structured format.
It's crazy that all it takes to become a maintainer of a package is to flag it as orphaned, wait 2 weeks for the original maintainer to fail to respond because they're on a holiday, and BAM! - the attacker can gets assigned as a maintainer and can now ship spicy updates.
Desk, chair, lightning, monitors are easily googlable, too.
Coming back to office creates more problems than it solves.
All other issues are easily solvable too, either with the right tools, or the right processes.
(nb. I also think working at a coffee shop isn't for most people)
I wanted to reply to your comment re:Nordics but it seems it reached a limit to comment depth, your experiences are probably related to interacting with a biased sample, a quick google tells me that on average only a couple hundred Swedes immigrate to the US per year.
But all in all, great work, OP!
