[CPWG] About Single Subject Meetings

[Evan Leibovitch]

Thanks for reminding me!

The Slack channel has been in existence almost six years! (Created by Dev
May 29 '14 and joined by me, Olivier, Ariel(!) and others a few days later.

I've rejoined. It's now one of multiple workspaces I'm involved with.

It's downright trivial to create channels for each of the individual topics
that may interest people, enabling WG members to scan, join and catch up on
what interests them. That way I could participate in the
#EthosCapitalMustDie channel and leave everyone else in the CPWG alone ;-)
