Initially, I was expecting the article to be about the chat system named “Slack” and how great it is for enabling busy people to have slow motion conversations while not needing to have gaps in their schedules that perfectly line up.
(And then IRC works similarly, and so on, and so forth...)
Having read the article, I thought it would be funny to throw a dart at a map of the US and a calendar and declare that to be the place that people able to attend the first meeting should meet to decide where to meet in the future. I changed my mind. It seems unlikely to work?
Something that popped into my head then, that might be the version that someone actually did: Burning Man!
I’ve never been, because when it seemed cool it always was happening just AFTER the start of the school year and my life was packed too densely to have room to accept the invitations that were floating around. My college experience felt like I had LOTS of short term time slack (I spent hours per day for months at a time just wandering around a huge library, basically) but this kind of slack wasn’t “enough slack” to find and attend Burning Man in the early days.
