I have only just now joined the outfit, I was unaware of the event until Tarek (Thank
You!) posted it.
I certainly cannot speak for the actual organizers, but this would be My take. After
having many great years
Of membership in the truly spectacular Living Computer Museum that the late Paul Allen
created, along with
2 terrific years of the LCM hosting the 2018 and 2019 editions of VCF Pacific Northwest,
the LCM was closed
"For Now" in early 2020, due to Covid concerns, and VCF NW 2020 was cancelled.
Not long after the temporary
Closure, I got an email that my pro rata membership was being refunded. No news since,
just conjecture, but the
LCM is a part of the Paul Allen estate, which is in probate.
My uneducated guess; it is called "Interim" as all of us old computer Nerds up
here in Seattle are hoping
For the best, that someone interested in continuing the legacy of the LCM will appear,
re-open the LCM, start
Hosting VCF PNW again...... OK, a guy can Dream.... :>)

I believe it is an early experiment unlike the well established VCFs.
