It went well, I asked ~8 people for feedback and it was all positive, almost everyone said that they liked it better than a regular social. One person said that it made them less socially anxious than regular socials. I think we’ll organise these every other month or something like that (in addition to socials).
We first quickly presented what topics each of us would most want to talk about, then we paired people up, based on that (though a lot of pairings were random). Each person had three one on ones and then we all had a picnic. I’m not sure how well it would work if the weather was less nice and we couldn’t do it in a park (or a building with many breakout rooms like at the EA weekend).
Those are really useful comments, thanks. I wonder how did the event go?
