Culture - how we work Most of our work is asynchronous, this is the best way for people in different timezones, schedules and places to effectively collaborate. The people at Gitlab wrote a good guide on asynchronous work , please go read it.  Here's some tips from Aaron Lean on element/matrix to start conversations about something you are inclined to "have a meeting or call" about. You'll be surprised by how much progress you can make on something without scheduling a meeting. Expect that progress might feel slower than having everyone in the same room at the same time.  You need to get better at writing your thoughts and ideas out. We really very heavily on written communication to collaborate  If you have an idea or suggestion, make use of our bookstack library and create a page for it as we discuss it.
