I noticed that most every BoF at Akademy this year used notes to link the
BoF notes. Will all these notes be just disappeared? If so, that is really
unfortunate. There is a reason many of us continue to use notes. One can
see who typed what, one can see the history of the doc - and other points
mentioned on https://share.kde.org/s/gtFcRmwetRKqTZJ.
