Hi all, we’re learning about Remote Hubs (how to organize them, the impact, the tools, etc.). It’s still work in progress... that’s why each one is different and each of us may have different ideas and expectations.

J Nowadays is made by hand with some google forms + copy & paste to the wiki. We'll try to have something better for the next meeting.

Yes, time difference is the most obvious barrier to remote hubs. We do not promote remote hubs when the time difference is not appropriate (there were no remote hubs in LAC for Seoul and there are no remote hubs in Africa scheduled for Chicago. The rationale is that the objective is to improve the experience for remote participants and moving during the night is the oposite. Christian > > > Alvaro. > >
