You can hold multiple meetings at different times. Not ideal, but there
has to be a better way to get all interested parties in a discussion at
the same time than forcing them to burn jet fuel.

I'm not opposed to in-person meetings -- there's nothing like a good Bar
BOF. I just think that we could more productively leverage the real-time
collaboration technologies we've developed to make progress between IRL
meetings, and perhaps run more focused IRL meetings as a result.
