I am thinking it would be a great idea to set up an OR Discord server for people who are studying or working with the methods for operations research. I myself study that field at university, but I haven't spoken to many people who have applied those methods in the real world. I would like to learn from those people and ask questions directly.
If you're not familiar with Discord: It is basically a platform where people can ask questions and talk directly in voice rooms with each other without the necessity of setting up a call and people can freely join a room and join a discussion at any time.
The idea is inspired by the big IT/programmer community where a lot of like-minded people meet online. Talk about interesting topics and help each other when it comes to technological issues.
Here is the server I set up: https://discord.gg/k5AtFccjne. It is possible to assign roles to active community members and make them moderators.
