Discussion
A few weeks ago we wrote a post to bring new ideas for the way out team communicates and keeps up with each other.
The next step is to figure out exactly what and how. First idea that seems to have traction is getting an informal meeting going for people in Asian and Pacific timezones, as most meetings are skewed towards the European crowd.

We will explore more ideas next week, so join us then!
