Sure this is one of the possibilities. But actually attending at small and large WordCamp's opens up a whole lot of perspective.

I worked on several tech projects, within different companies and most of the time the human aspects in these environments is close to zero.

Since I'm using WordPress this hasn't changed untill I actually attended at WordPress Meetups and WordCamp's across the globe(-ish) I found out there are so many awesome, likeminded people you just don't run into online, or on the streets in a way you will meet them at a WordCamp.

I really would want anyone within the community to experience this kind of social interaction cause it can open many doors that seemed close and open you up as a person entirely.

To me the technical "difficulty" has nothing to do with this matter, cause it's solely meant to expand your horizon on so much more then just building and maintaining a WordPress website.
