OK Cesar, please just consider one point.

if SWfox does not make it, for whatever reason, it'll have a negative impact for the whole community towards the outside world.
AFAIK Rick does not criticize anyone, just throwing new ideas from his ideal, "God bless it all", digital world.

We got to have a B-plan to keep the world-wide rallying happen somewhere, somehow.

FoxInCloud has been a sponsor to SWfox for the past 3 years, and we have some good reasons now not to continue.
One of these reasons is that, despite what I consider large efforts from our side, apart from the cost, we did not feel like being part of it.
