## Enhancing Online Community Building & Long-Term Production with Co-Located Events

Nearly all online communities organize co-located meetings, such as conferences, un-conferences, and

hackathons. These events are short, fast-paced, yet they are intended to enable social interactions and

fast-circulation of informal knowledge between attendants. There is however a dearth of knowledge

on the contribution of co-located events to community enhancement and long-term online production.

Here, I study a community of astrophysicists involved in open and reproducible data science. Over the

span of data collected (4 years), five co-located meetings were organized. Each meeting triggered contrasted

immediate effects regarding collaboration, but all of them had significant long-term enhancing

effects on community building and online knowledge production. These results illustrate how punctual

co-located meetings change the way contributors engage with their community once they have

resumed their routine work online.
