[hibernate-dev] Limited beta access to Gitter

Gitter is a new service aiming to replace IRC, and specifically meant for OSS projects team working with Github. I've got an invitation to participate to the beta, and got it setup for these chatrooms (open to the public): - https://gitter.im/hibernate/hibernate-orm - https://gitter.im/hibernate/hibernate-search I've setup integration from Jenkins and Github so we should get notifications in the chatroom about commits, PRs, reviews and build jobs (totally untested so far) Shall we give it a try? Some features which I'm liking: - it provides a per-repository chatroom and an organization wide chatroom - history is always available, cloud stored and full-text searchable. so we can jump to one device to the next or stay offline and catch up - has native clients for Mac, iOS, Android (but I'm using the webpage which works great and has desktop notifications via Chrome) - no new accounts: you login via GitHub, so your permissions on the chatroom are inherited from your permissions on the respective repositories - people join following just the links above.. very low hassle for newcomers! I'll be there and on IRC as well in the foreseeable future. Cheers, Sanne
