Good to see I am not the only one with a cynical view of apps on devices. A flashlight app which needs all object authority on your device......why would a flashlight app need anything more than a sliver of hardware access to do all it needed?

Anyone see the email from PASS?
We are saddened to tell you that, due to the impact of COVID-19, PASS is ceasing all regular operations, effective January 15, 2021.

It had a great run and built one heck of a community.ย The community isn't dead and neither is the spirit of sharing knowledge that it inspired.ย We're going to keep our user group going and, someday, we're going to do an SQLSaturday again.

Can you imagine? Here in New Zealand we eradicated the virus. Twice.
Second time after the idiots at the border let travellers from UK, Pakistan, India and USA through without quarantine on "compassionate reasons". That was our "second wave".
Now - no social distancing, no staying at home, only masks on public transport remind us about the pandemic.
Gradually opening borders with Australia. But after that blunder which caused the second lockdown the government is overcausios.

I wonder if the virus was the cause of PASS's demise, or was it the final nail in the coffin?

I hope that it was just the first, but I fear it's the second.

Personally, I'd say it's 70/30. We had a balanced budget last year and plans for PASS Pro to move us off dependency on Summit. When the pandemic hit, our cash flow went to zero. Then add in the extendedย lack of in-person stuff and our existing contracts with venues & hotels, we just couldn't keep going. So, it's both, but way more Covid than not.
