could the PyCon committee assess doing a crash implementation of streaming the keynotes, or adding virtual memberships, or an online track?
The Seattle Worldcon is wrestling with the same issues and sent out a statement today: https://seattlein2025.org/2025/03/20/statement-from-worldcon-chair/
They can't do much and are clearly scrambling to react, but their statement might provide some ideas.
