You can use HackMD to introduce yourself and decide on topics. (Google Docs is often buggy these days when writing with many people, and Scrapbox requires an account, but HackMD can be shared with just a URL) https://twitter.com/yumu19/status/1375823868015702020
online get-together It’s hard to do (and even offline it’s hard to do on a large scale). My personal best practice is to do it in unconference format. https://twitter.com/yumu19/status/1372726863626309641 March 19, 2021Unconference
I just developed a best practice in online drinking called unconference drinking (I tried it the other day and it was a success), and I was going to spread it around, but the advent of clubhouse has made it useless. https://twitter.com/yumu19/status/1356540774901444610 February 2, 2021
I think that unconference drinking sessions, which I have wanted to do for a long time but have not yet done, would be a good match for online drinking sessions. It is a little difficult to talk without a theme when online (someone in a facilitator role is needed), so it is better to decide on a theme or something. https://twitter.com/yumu19/status/1259458594459639811 May 10, 2020
I want to talk about various things with various people, but when we just get together and have a drink, we usually end up talking about what’s going on and rarely get into deep discussions. This format would definitely be better for large get-togethers at academic conferences and the like. Currently, the only thing you can do is meet people you know and have them introduce you to new people they know. I think it’s time to get rid of get-togethers that don’t have a mechanism to facilitate getting to know each other. At ordinary drinking parties, it is difficult to talk about the future or visions because it is embarrassing to start a conversation, but when the theme is fixed, it becomes easier to talk about such things. https://twitter.com/yumu19/status/1130873961913339904 May 22, 2019
