Hi!
Just to add to the discussion: have you already thought about Zulip? Julia community is moving from Slack to Zulip and the experience has been very good so far. Furthermore, Zulip is 100% open source, with Apache 2 license.
I very specifically stated why Slack and Slack alternatives like RocketChat and Zulip are a terrible choice for communities, but I can repeat myself: No user will use a chat platform for one community, we either use a centralized platform with split communities concept or a federated approach so we can join into a bigger ecosystem with our own server. We are currently doing both, Discord with centralized approach with guilds as the split communities and Matrix, with federated approach and our matrix.opensuse.org homeserver (also Apache-2.0 licensed btw). If your community doesn't foresee new people to take part in development and you have another way of doing tech support, Slack clones are perfect. However, we are an inclusive community that appreciates input of anybody that is willing to help us, therefore we will empower people to join by not being separated from the rest of the internet. For the same reasons we are looking closely at Pagure, because thanks to the efforts of implementing forgefed, we will be able to easily work with other communities using Pagure, federation is pretty cool ;) LCP [Stasiek] https://lcp.world -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
