Is there an evening (UK time) when people do join. I’ve just had a blindingly fast team/tribe reshuffle at work, so I am all zoomed out of the testing world and trying to do people and process this week, it will be interesting. Anyone with opinions on Spotify 's “Tribes” model, do hook in. Keen to get schooled.

Bumping this thread again, just so all the tweeps know that this is still working. (requires a google account)

Accidentally did a stress test. I joined, and left the computer switched on with webcam on, all night - all night. Hope nobody saw anything they should not have, not so sure.

Thought I recognized you sleepwalking! :smiley:

Is this still a thing? Are all folk welcome? How have I got to this point in lockdown before realising this existed.

It is, there was quite a group this morning. It’s frequented by genuinely wonderful wonderful people, they’ll never truly know how much they’ve helped me over the last couple of months.

One day? At least once a week.

It’s actually morphed a bit sometimes we just join and create a virtual office, with people just typing and working as a background thing.

I’ll probably join tomorrow at 10:15-ish Belgium time and no doubt Chris will be there also! :smiley:

Any reason we don’t have people in the USA working timezones joining? I am sometimes still working at 6pm GMT and it’s often too quiet.

I just think 90% of the community is from the EU? :stuck_out_tongue:
At least it seems so… not sure if there are any statistics about it @simon_tomes ? :stuck_out_tongue:

Happy to try and promote to wider audience if that is our intention. I’m jsut not the greatest promoter type person :slight_smile:

It’s great place to sometimes just listen in for background noise to make you feel like you are still in a real office. Or to use as a sounding board. I have actually used some of the chats to directly feed into process change requests at work.

Well I’m from Asia. And I’m not sure what are we talking about here? What is this hangout for? (curious)
