the next PTG is confirmed, and is in a time and region that meets the
community expectations for the next ops meetups, so i think giving it a go
is fine and appropriate.

If no more PTGs happen, or if they become less appropriate somehow,
kick-starting the independent events again is quite easy since these are
some of the most no-frills events I've been to - a venue, lunch, wifi, some
content etherpads, some moderators, you can have an Ops Meetup!
