Disappointing take-up of Gather.Town

[Adrian Farrel <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Am I the only one to miss random corridor conversations that happen at
face-to-face IETF meetings?

Of course, planned coffee-time meet-ups can still be scheduled using a
variety of meeting tools, but the casual bumping in to people and talking
about things, and (better still) hooking into other people's conversations
to learn and share, is a real loss.

So I have been hanging around in Gather.Town
(https://ietf.gather.town/z6N2SDxHebMdDAfo/IETF-108) and found this has
worked quite nicely for exactly that reason. Quick hellos, short chats, or
longer rambling debates have all been working nicely.

But where is everybody? The number of people in the application seems to
range between 20 and 50. 

Is the problem that Gather.Town makes you run all sorts of scripts that
might be a bit icky? Or are we all really just antisocial?

Thanks,
Adrian
