Fair enough, that's why I asked.  Is it possible for us to get a 
[email protected] mail box?


Thanks for the quick feedback.

Subject: Re: Slack

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!

There is an existing Slack workspace for Apache projects 
(the-asf.slack.com<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthe-asf.slack.com&data=02%7C01%7Cses44%40psu.edu%7C80a9c0a2175f4c41675408d5f3076092%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C636682135364551699&sdata=A4TJ2teJITKtID5gvGOET8V8tK85nxJyFR55V%2BK09ws%3D&reserved=0>)
 that is used by several projects at Apache that could be re-used. I think 
committers can log on automatically using their ASF credentials.

Is there already, or would anyone be opposed to a slack group for Apache 
Directory with individual rooms for the projects?
