Looks like something that we would want to try. It is an alternative to the "hallway conversations". And trying that with Hot RFC might be a nice first baby step. Listening to the various complaints on the IETF lists, I wonder how many innovative scenarios like that we might try. Mini conference spots in which people just walk in, just like they walk in to a table in a break during session. Chat roulette as an alternative to the welcome session. Some avatar based conference as an alternative to the social event... -- Christian Huitema
