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

Frederick, Really nice discussion of the issues around using for-profit tools in an open-source organization. I tend to think that we should use whatever tools we can afford or get for free to make OSM data as good as it can get. The more we can do, the more open-source data is

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