At this point I’d consider it major news if an in person conference is not canceled.
FOSSASIA is still taking place this weekend: https://blog.fossasia.org/fossasia-summit-2020-takes-places-...
Makes sense. Their employees are also working from home. If they do the conference online then it will require the employees to coordinate and meet, which is not desired. Cancelling is the right thing to do.
the entire year 2020 is cancelled in general
It's a giant commercial, who cares if it's cancelled?
Not surprised. Google I/O keynotes for the last 10 years have been showcases of half-baked hacks that won't launch until a year later if at all. With everyone working from home, they can't even get convincing hacks ready.
Hey man don't forget about Google Stadia! It was a fully featured and complete product when it released last year!
That said, I'm looking forward to Apple's online WWDC, and hope that it doesn't meet a similar fate!
