Hi Everyone

As you may have noticed, the pandemic has reduced the urgency for having the fishness list and calendar. Yes, there are some very fine online events happening, but I have had a hard time motivating myself to list them here.

As for the long-term future of the fishness list, once in-person events start up again, well... it's an open question. To be honest, I was starting to wonder if it was time to retire the list/calendar, even before the pandemic.

At the same time, being part of the post-pandemic rebuilding of the burner/raver/intentional-dance communities is certainly something that I would like to be a part of, and maybe I can revive some or all of my previous contribution, without TOO much time spent away from my day job ;-)

There are also a few technical problems: the software that emails out the fishness list is a very old php application that I wrote myself, 18 years ago. The calendar website is in Drupal 6 (a very out-of-date version, the fact that it works at all is a testament to Drupal ;-) ). For work-related reasons, I have to move this website to another server, running a much higher version of php. Therefore, the fishness list software AND the calendar website will both need to be upgraded to run on the new server, and I don't have time to do that right now. Or a pressing need either, it seems.

Maybe the next time you come back to this space, things will have changed. Or maybe not.

either way, WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS! WE WILL DANCE TOGETHER AGAIN!

peace,
Fish
