Re: [hibernate-dev] Chat migration - D minus 115 until the death of HipChat

Thanks for starting this! The choice of IRC is a bit special on the list as we never intended it to be killed: it has been historically important and we should maintain some level of reachability on it. So voting for the "IRC" choice just means a preference to not use anything else on top of it, while alternatively we'' be using X on top of IRC, albeit with a preference to use X for team conversations. Also good to remind: please try to be on IRC as well occasionally as many in the OSS community we integrate with will reach out there.
