Adding new rubric to the Community - Water Cooler Talk
Hello Developers!
We've been thinking long and hard about something and decided that we definitely need your input about it 馃槉
We know that many of you have interests besides IRIS development (crazy thought, we know). And most likely some other members of the Community share your interests. So we thought it may be a good idea to discuss topics not directly related to InterSystems products and services but linked to programming. For example, new research in AI or new Python releases. Basically, we'd like to give you a chance to share your expertise in other domains not just InterSystems.
Of course, to not flood the Community with content not directly related to the IRIS data platform, we can hold such discussions a.k.a. Water Cooler Talk once every 1-2 weeks, e.g. on Fridays.
For now, we just want to get your opinion on whether you would be interested in such a rubric, whether you would want to participate in such discussions, etc. So, how do you feel about this idea?
Please vote in the poll below and/or leave your comments. We're eager to hear your thoughts! 鉁岋笍

I assume "water cooler tank" has the same social functionality
as the kitchenette with the common coffee machine in central and northern Europe
What do you think that we have in the kitchenette (cocina) in southern Europe? A machine of sangria? That would be great...
when I worked in Italy and Spain 40+ years back we always went to the cafeteria next door.
They served excellent "caf茅 correto".
BTW: I'd definetly prefer Sangia over Cold Water

This is a great idea! Looking forward to chatting with you all around the water cooler馃榾
How about "Coffee Machine Talks"? As a lot of developers are real coffee addicts ... 馃槀
YEAH! Coffee in Belgium was always great for me
Could these be opt-in Canals (Water-Channels) ?
