Frank, just to clarify, is your question "is it safe for us to go to denver?" i.e. Deutsch Telekom employees, given that the US just made very serious allegations against a fellow open stack contributing telecom company?

Good morning,
just a question, out of curiosity: Is the Denver Summit save? I mean, we received a lot of breaking news in the morning, that Huawei is charged in court and is doing a lot of bad things (i.e. stolen a robotics arm). I don't want to bring in any political discussions. But surely as you know, Huawei is one of the top contributor to our Open Source project. They work hard and do not need to steal things. Is there any chance that one of our friends will be caught next? At the summit between political fronts? I feel a little uncomfortable with it. We are an open community and should clarify this inconsistency.
kind regards
Frank
One of the things I think we can agree on in an open source community is the importance of making decisions about our own behaviour as individuals, based on facts. I don't have an answer to the question posed. I do have some suggestions for those interested on how to access facts in this matter. I find that reading multiple news sources on a given issue to be very helpful as I try to understand the full picture. In this matter, I find that reading Canadian news sources, cbc.ca/news, thestar.com (you will be prompted to subscribe, you don't have to subscribe), and globeandmail.com (some articles are for subscribers only) to be very useful. The Canadian news site nationalpost.com used to be a source I read often, but now I believe all articles are for subscribers only. Internationally I find bbc.co.uk helpful. Thank you, Anita
