100% this! It's nice to set a week aside and do work together then and there. But there always seems to be more to be done afterwards.

Once we understand who really cares about which aspects and what motivates them, it's also much easier to reach out to them again later (& not waste their time)

I have also seen collaborations work purely virtually or work virtually for a long time before any in-person meetings. But in most cases, it's easier to get the ball rolling with in-person interaction & it speeds up the collaboration afterwards. (3/3)

Joel Lüthi @joelluethi.bsky.social · Sep 12

That's not to say that all community collaboration needs to be in person though! I've seen it continue well virtually after in-person meetups, once people know each other.
I see the in-person meetups as the nucleus & reinforcement of productive virtual collaborations :) (2/3)

Hey @elinarahul.bsky.social
In my experience, in-person connection opportunities are key to get people to get to know each other and understand the different perspectives. As such, it's key to have some moments for in-person collaboration. (1/3)
