> a remote work environment where people can get together as needed. +1 to that in theory though in practice, it is hard to pull off if everyone is geographically scattered. Key constraint boils down to everyone's ability to attend in person - you always miss around 10-15% of attendees. And then there is not enough ROI on all the expenses you have incurred for that offsite (air, hotel, cabs etc). If people are in the same geographical area, then probably it is not a problem.
