Covid Effects
How covid has affected tech communities
Several communities froze their activities for the COVID period, this decreased the involvement of organizers and big problems with members' engagement.
In several cases, COVID caused communities death and some of them were reborn thanks to new organizers.
In general, communities experienced slightly fewer attendees during in-person events and difficulty in finding venues that want to host tech meetups.
Some communities were born thanks to COVID and still continue organizing online events and others decided to organize only in-person events because not interested in online ones.
COVID also caused a massive generation of online content accessible to everyone with more playbacks even though the attendance was lower. Developers prefer to learn in moments in which they have time despite taking a commitment at a specific time/day.
