- A Reddit-style AMA (Ask Me Anything) for specific time periods to concentrate interaction with and questions to poster presenters. (e.g. Bill Gates recent AMA on covid-19, or Alan Aspuru-Guzik's AMA on disrupting chemistry with AI)
- Setting up conferences, or rather, "unconferences" with Github issues, and allow participants to self-organize online. Two recent unconferences that used Github for this purpose: NCEAS CodeFest and rOpenSci Unconference 2017.
- For those unfamiliar with GitHub, "Unconferences" can be organized on other platforms. Most notably, the American Chemical Society has recently partnered with Morressier to create "SciMeetings". At the moment SciMeetings is offered complimentary to researchers, and the use of the platform for the posting of research is solely at the discretion of the presenter.
