Hi, It's been more than a week since I started this thread, so allow me to summarize.
>From the thread it seems a number of people weren't clear that I wasn't looking for write-in options, but for a choice between the two stated options: Freenode IRC or Slack (Apache Workspace). When it comes to discoverability, I think this can be as simple as stating on our website what the channels are, including direct links. Now for the end result: it's clear we have a split. Roughly down the middle when it comes to preferences of the people that spoke up, some with passion. What this means is that we'll likely just end up with a few people on IRC and a few people on Slack. Which emphasizes the point that everything should be brought back to this mailing list when it pertains to the project. I propose we move the #buildstream IRC channel to FreeNode next week. We currently have a BuildStream channel on the BuildTeam workspace, I propose we'll keep that for now and potentially migrate that to the ASF workspace at a later date.
