Thanks, fixed.

@scamp: well, I try to learn from my mistakes and not make the same one twice. since you pointed out(correctly!) that i did not read the whole page - i fixed that :)
anyhu, did you had some time to look at the f1 model and the calculator?

abductee: So I looked at the Formula 1 study. It's basically that every team had 50-100 people of staff, there was no real security concept, drivers ignored quarantine measures by leaving hotel rooms etc. I didn't find any systematic study, but only anecdotical stuff. But basically they simply didn't follow their security concept.
No clue why you are so attached to the F1 stuff. No relation at all to in-hall events.
The "calculator" you used also is not meant for events.
But here is one from the respect Max-Planck Institute:

If you put in our security concept properties (Certified surgical masks, hall ventilation, 1700m² hall size with 3m height, 250 people) you get this result:
And as we know the risk of someone infected entering already is extremely low due to the Covid-19 tests we are doing.
In summary the risk of this becoming a "super-spreader event" is ZERO. The risk of someone else getting infected EVEN in the unlikely event of an infected person entering also is close to Zero.

< 0.01% individual infection risk if one person is infectious.
< 0.01% probability that at least one other person gets infected if one person is infectious at the event.

The communication with RO's main organizers has been sub-optimal, to say the least. Will not play the blame game, but hope this will be improving.

RO is totally correct in not wanting to associate with a shitshow like that
Has this situation improved since? Is there an official stance from both parties on the matter?
In the end, should OnScene happen, is it going to be a completely separate event from Revision, a complete collaboration, or something in between?
onScene is cancelled :(
While in our region the infection numbers are really low and it would be quite safe to do the party, in the end it's not sustainable to do the event.
Germany is far behind and completely messed up both vaccinations and testing. By Easter weekend, after four months probably less than 10% of the German population will be vaccinated.
Also the current lock-down is supposed to end just days before Easter, which even having a permit would mean we potentially would have to cancel last minute while people more or less are already sitting in their cars/planes/trains.
Long story short: It was worth trying. We still believe that even with the chance having been low, it was the right thing not to give up on Easter Weekend 2021 early.
So, another Easter where you can't physically party with your friends. It's a pain, but we'll make it.
On a positive Note: Underground Conference 11 is going to definitely happen in July, we got all the necessary permits and stuff is booked. As this is an outside event, managing infection risk obviously is a whole lot easier. Also we can use the hundreds of
Corona test kits and masks we had bought for onScene ;)
An announcement on the party is coming soon.
Many of the onScene registered visitors have been to UC, but others don't. If you wanna see if this could be an alternative for you, check out last years' info page:
https://uc10.party/about.html
Also, we have just released a video of the Opening Ceremony of last year's Underground Conference, which is worth checking out:

So, Easter Weekend will be the last time this year where staying on your Sofa is acceptable. (Yeah, sorry for the UC Spam ;)
