[Gluster-users] Freenode takeover and GlusterFS IRC channels
We (at least many developers and some users) actively use Slack at https://gluster.slack.com While I agree that it's not a free/open alternative to IRC, it does get many questions answered, and also gets communication happen related to the project.

[Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] Freenode takeover and GlusterFS IRC channels
And why don't you just do the right thing and drop these semi-closed-source stuff and use XMPP, about the only free/GPLed messenger service. It has: - no central provider - no central servers - server software free for anyone to install - lots of free xmpp services around - crypted or not crypted on user choice -> https://xmpp.org/ You use email, why? -- Regards, Stephan On Mon, 7 Jun 2021 21:41:11 +0530 Amar Tumballi <amar at kadalu.io> wrote:> We (at least many developers and some users) actively use Slack at > https://gluster.slack.com > > While I agree that it's not a free/open alternative to IRC, it does get > many questions answered, and also gets communication happen related to the > project. > > Regards, > Amar > > > On Mon, 7 Jun, 2021, 9:27 pm Jordan Erickson, < > jerickson at logicalnetworking.net> wrote: > > > I'm relatively new to the community but I would vote for having a point > > of presence on libera.chat, or OFTC as some other F/OSS projects are > > moving there as an alternative.

[Gluster-users] Freenode takeover and GlusterFS IRC channels
I stopped paying attention to freenode when there was never any activity there for months. As far as I have seen, slack and the email list are the only resources anybody seems to use anymore.
