Michalis Famelis/Φαμέλης<p>A few months ago, when planning where to submit papers this year, I made the decision that this time around we were not going to send anything to MODELS, since it is hosted in the US. </p><p>Trump's travel ban today says it was 100% the right decision.</p><p>That said, the MODELS organizers are doing their best. They have created a hybrid attendance option, allowed virtual presentations, etc. But these are band-aids. </p><p>Holding any SE conferences in the US is going to be a very tricky proposition going forward. And I strongly believe that ICSE 2028 should NOT be held in Hawaii.</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/modelsconference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modelsconference</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/icse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>icse</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/@SIGSOFT" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>SIGSOFT</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/seresearchers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>seresearchers</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@icseconf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>icseconf</span></a></span></p>
