With open source software, a lot of innovation (not all, certainly, but a lot) comes from companies or teams at academic institutions that are traditionally colocated. Lots of real innovation - or, at least, agreement on direction - has occurred at in-person conferences too. I don’t think this should be dismissed.

This is not at all incompatible with WFH. Getting the team together for a week once every 6 months or once every quarter for these exercises is very reasonable.
- surajrmal 3y agoIt can be a lot slower to make major decisions only once every 6 months. Open source isn't exactly known to move very quickly. I think it can work fine for projects which are well established with a roadmap, but for experimental efforts that need fast iteration, it can really hold things back.
