With remote work becoming more commonplace, teams are getting more geographically distributed. This makes communication difficult for team members who are used to working in offices or new contributors who are used to face to face interactions. This talk aims to address our experiences with interacting with various open-source teams and the lessons we learnt along the way. You are welcome!
Communication is important in distributed teams. This talks aims to address challenges in communication when working remotely. We will dive into tools that are used by our respective teams and how we learnt from our mistakes when coming up in the open-source world. We aim to share our experience and lessons with everyone - new and experienced contributors alike.
