I think the same, we should not be alarmist but be consistent with the
situation. Maybe making the attendees see that we are aware of the
situation and apply everything that is in our possibilities.
From Spain in these cases we apply the fair percentage of common sense
and alarmism to try to carry out a normal activity.

I certainly don't want to be an alarmist, and do believe that much
of the media attention is very overblown, but I think FSF, and
LibrePlanet specifically, needs to address conference plans in light
of the current virus situation.
I am aware of major business conferences being boycotted by both
vendors and attendees over concerns; I'm sure Free Software
activists might be interested in what the LP response is going to
be. Even just an acknowledgement that the conference is on, and
recommending that those who do not feel well should stay home.
Possibly a emphasis on remote attendance via live stream and any
enhancements or accommodations that are going to be made to fully
support and encourage participation of those who choose not to be
locked in small enclosed spaces with several hundred fellow
activists. A simple banner on the LP.org and FSF.org sites seems
warranted.
I want to encourage some official communication about how the
conference is making allowances to handle the current virus
outbreak. While we may do nothing specific (not my preferred
position) we should at least acknowledge the questions that
attendees may be asking.

It seems odd to think the media attention is "very overblown"
when, at the same time, the front-line epidemiologists and
medical professionals are urgently asking for greater awareness of
how
bad this appears to be, and how poor the organized response in the
U.S.
In California, a growing list of quite important professional
conferences have been canceled. The general release of a new Bond
film
has been postponed because theaters are shutting down.
Community-based
transmission has been confirmed in a growing number of cases.
Libreplanet should take a cue from corporations like RSA and IBM:
cancel.
As a reminder: the movement should consider concentrating on
low-resource
demand communications software to help society be resilient in the
face
of this and other growing crises.

The FSF is currently preparing this kind of statement, which we hope
to get out in the next day or so.
