Hi Everyone, Thanks for your feedback, this discussion is now closed.
We didn't receive any objections against moving away from Mattermost in favor of GitHub Discussions and a #hop channel on the ASF Slack workspace. The current Mattermost will remain available until the end of the year while we start preparing the practical side of things. We'll post an update about this discussion on the Apache Hop blog to notify Apache Hop community members who aren't subscribed to the Apache Hop mailing lists. Thank you to everyone who participated in this discussion!
