You do know that the person(s) putting on such an event will have to
probably front quite a bit of expenses, and probably work their butts
off for probably 6 months to put an event together. I do an Christmas
annual company alumni meeting w/o anything than guaranteeing that 150
drinkers will show up, find a venue everyone likes, and that takes quite
a bit of work. I start planning in the week after the event if I have
to move for the next years event. Then 6 months in advance to be sure
things will work when it happens.
Add to that that the organizer will have to do much more to accomodate a
VCF and I respect Sellam for what he has done, and that he has taken a
breather from it.

Why hasn't
there been one
because you haven't organized one yet.
and if Sellam can't deal with it anymore why
doesn't he step aside and let someone else take over ?
He has NEVER been in
the way of anybody else organizing a classic computer
fair.
There has only
been an increase in interest in vintage computers since the last one.
Does Sellam own the rights to the name or something ?
Yes, he does own the rights
to the name "Vintage Computer Festival
Maybe it could just be called something else and
we could get an event
out here again.
ABSOLUTELY!
When will your event be? Sign me up!
