Hallo, Considering the relative decline of IRC (sorry folks) I have set up a Slack for Enterprise Linux. I've been using "pythondev.slack.com" and honestly, its a fantastic tool for community support with really nice features for computer centric discussion. https://enterpriselinux.slack.com/shared_invite/MTY4MTM5NjQ2NTc5LTE0OTE5OTkyNTctMjkyNGU1NWQzOA My hope is that those running Rhel and Centos can have a common place to flame war about SystemD, what to do when FreeIPA replication breaks and how to give your network interfaces sensible names without having to use a pastebin. Thoughts? Experiances? Cheers, Andrew

To be honest Freenode is nice and I'd be sad to see it replaced with anything. So cool to be a "/join #project" away from getting help. If we go Mattermost, can we have a searchable public archive of the chats? Something search engines can index and we can point people to? -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Experiances? >Not enthused with slack. And here's a real question: were you talking about *instead* of this mailing list? I would very much not be happy with that, for the same reason I'm significantly less than enthused by "social media": I prefer actual written-out thoughts, and threads, and being able to intercollate comments. Social media, IMO, leans towards one sentence comments. mark

I'm part of a few slack communities and it seems an excellent platform for realtime discourse and noob baiting. Very sadly the #centos and #rhel freenode irc channels seem to be rather quiet these days and the irc protocol generally seems to be on the way out. IRC is a bit of a poor show when compared to modern platforms like Slack and Mattermost.
