Today is day 1 | Welcome to the new office(s)
Hello!
While some companies are channeling their efforts to improve old offices, adapting them to new work dynamics and making them attractive enough for people to want to work from there, leaving their homes or 'work from anywhere', there are organisations that are one step ahead. This is the case with Salesforce, which, following a remote work logic, is committed to building a centre focused on well-being, mental health and social interaction among team members.?
But there's more.
They don't have an address, not even a zip code. Employees and guests arrive at the offices of these companies through a link, without having to physically move. The office exists and, like a physical office, it has different workspaces, corridors, meeting rooms, employees walking around… But all this happens in the metaverse.
It's like getting to the office in the morning. Things can be added and taken away. Harpoon , a company that specialises in recruitment, decided to create a meta office, in addition to having a physical office, in a coworking space in Lisbon. Their meta office has meeting rooms, auditoriums for conferences and webinars, spaces to rest and take a break in the middle of the day, to work as a team and even green areas outside.

In the words of George Eliot, “It never will rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees”. The English writer wrote this in 1868, in his novel “The Spanish Gypsy”. It was true then, and it is true now. Trees, belives Trees for the Future , have a fundamental role on our planet, mainly providing us with clean air by absorbing harmful pollutants and releasing clean oxygen for us to breathe. Their roots work like filters, allowing them to capture rainwater and thus slow down the water’s absorption into the soil and reduce the risk of natural disasters. One tree can be home to hundreds of species, both animals and plants. Trees can have a huge impact on climate and on the health of our planet and of everyone that lives in it.

"In the?first part of this mini series?I spoke about how I got started in open source and what I get out of it. In this post I’ll be talking about the challenges. In some cases it’s not necessarily specific to open source and in others it might be specific to me or the projects I work on.", shares? Daniel W. . Read the full article to learn more.
