Abstract.
We are interested in how small groups of remote intimate collaborators — distance-separated people who want or need to stay in touch with each other — bootstrap their software environments and social practices to enable interaction. In this presentation, we will reflect on our personal experiences bootstrapping a collaborative environment between the co-authors as intimate collaborators, and between Greenberg and his students while he was on sabbatical leave to Australia from Canada for several months.
