Abstract

This BoF is a continuation of the ADASS FADS tradition of yore, which aims tostimulate discussion (or at least awareness) about the non-technical aspects of our trade.This year, as we expected, it proved to be difficult to have a real discussion by means of Zoom. But the Metis polls and the DisCord log show that we have nevertheless beensuccesful in getting people to (begin to) think about the wayUsers, Developers andManagers work together, inside and between our MultiVerse of Bubbles. Next year wewill try to focus this discussion by means of a Proxy demonstrator. We feel that there isa world to be won.
