Finding Local Community as a Remote Employee
Contributor 
Hey Everyone,
Offices are opening back up! Soon those in-person meetings and the after-work "happy hours" will start again. But for many of us who took remote employment; during or before Covid-19, these social interactions aren't going to be a viable option for physically rubbing elbows with people in and around the CS industry. And it doesn't look like in-person CS conferences are anywhere on the near horizon.
So, I'm curious what are remote employees doing to stay in a local (physical) community?
