remote meetings

A highlight of today was a long meeting with Chris Lintott (Oxford) covering many subjects. But he told me about dot-dot-astronomy, which is a fully-remote reboot they are working on for the niche but extremely influential dot-astronomy meetings. The idea is to go fully remote—all participants remote—but then change the meeting expectations and structure to respect that. The idea is: Maybe not try to do remote meetings so they are just as good as face-to-face meetings, but to try to do remote meetings so they are something very different from face-to-face meetings. That seems like a great idea. Let's re-frame our goals. We have to do something about what we are doing to this planet.
