Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

Waffle Love: The only reason that I am on Twitter is that I told two kids in a food truck about OSM. The only way I had to communicate with them was via Twitter. The grand experiment was to create a node with their information. Once I paved the way, then the Waffe Love Van's node would be moved

Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

One thing I find annoying about most wikis is that conversation threads are listed in order of which thread most recently received a reply, not by subject. In wikis with large numbers of threads, this means having to guess which search terns to use. Sorting by what message replied to what makes

Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

I think we are talking different things and they are best suited to different needs. Personnally I hate being interupted, so Slack or something like it that waves at me and says look at this pretty picture doesn't work well for me. Neither does IRC to be honest. It is reasonably complex to set

IRC is open, public and transparent. It is very easy to log, anyone can do it, there is no secret anything. If you have a machine that is always on, like my desktop, you just log in and you have the transcript/log of whatever goes on. There are literally 100's of people that do that in the

Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

There's an irony in these latest communication channels (loomio?) being called 'collaborative'. The more that are used within OSM the more fractured the communication becomes. It wouldn't be so bad if any conclusions were broadcast, but increasingly they're not. IRC, due to its

Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

Martijn, I think your approach on this issue is spot on. I personally think that when a project like OSM supports non-Free software, especially ones run by external entities, it sends absolutely the wrong message. Worse still is if we force users to use these gatekeepers to interface with our

I find this a really worthwhile conversation to have. IRC is still great for some but it’s hardly inclusive. I like Slack and started using it early on. We set up an OSM US Slack, initially just for the board to coordinate, but we extended it to be open for all soon. They even give us free

I have set up a Slack bot using some software[1] that relays messages between a slack channel and an IRC channel. It is listening in #osm on OFTC and the #irc slack channel in Steve's team. I love my irssi+screen IRC setup however it kind of breaks down when it comes to a phone-friendly

Slack offers an irc gateway if you'd prefer to connect to slack from your irc client. Just sign up for the slack team and look in the "integrations" section for information about how to connect your irc client. On Mar 29, 2016 11:33 AM, "Toby Murray" wrote: > I have set up

Re: [OSM-talk] [Talk-us] Slack

Hi Steve and list members, OSM US already set up a Slack that has a few dozen people on it. Originally the board used it solely for internal communications but now there are plenty of folks hanging out talking about OSM in general (not just OSM US). One particular nicety of our Slack team is that
