Re: [infinispan-dev] Replacing IRC

Hi all, I'm a strong adopter of slack and I really like it. I've used it since it came out with Duchess (we started with an internal use for the team, and we have a community slack now with more that 150 people there that is little by little replacing our google group). I've use it in different communities, startups and big company client's teams. As far as I know, other open-source projects have already adopted it successfully. What is cool about it is that joining any team and switching from one team to another is very easy. If people want to join the community, and they are already using slack, is very easy. I agree with Sanne, being able to use it from the smartphone is important and could be considered as a high requirement. I use slack on my phone, and it helps quit a lot. Most of the time I use it from my laptop, but there are cases where mobile has really helped us (specially in Duchess France slack). I use the native slack client on my mac and works very well. I haven't tested Stride or Gitter. Katia On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 11:29 AM, Tristan Tarrant <ttarrant(a)redhat.com <mailto:ttarrant@redhat.com>> wrote: HipChat is being replaced by Stride. I have dimissed HipChat in the past because it did not allow for a single account to be shared across multiple groups. I believe this will be solved by Stride. Tristan
