[OSList] OS in Zoom times

[Chris Corrigan]

Dearest Anne:

I have also found zoom to be intimate! I know folks complain a lot about
zoom fatigue but before this pandemic there was such a thing as "meeting
fatigue" and of course what we all know is that is down to how a meeting is
hosted - or not.  It's not enough just to use a tool in a physical or a
virtual space. How one shows up to lead and host, as always, is critical.

Much love to you and yours,

Chris
