Just to be clear: The ASF works through mailing lists. Having a side channel, and especially a synchronous one like slack is a bit playing against community.
The main reason is that many of us aren’t living on the same TZ, and we do have a side job, a familly, and we can’t really join a live discussion and participate when it occurs, even when it has been scheduled. This is the reason The ASF considers that ´if it hasn’t happened on a mailing list, it does not exist’. Also consider that companies’ firewalls are often blocking such channels... So if you really want to use such a tool, do it sparsely, and *always* send a feedback on the mailing list. Keep in mind that *no* decision should be made on such channel too. Yeah, I know, 2018, tada yada ;-) Still, this is for the good of the project, and its community! Thanks!
