Definitely not slack.  That is not run by a free software nonprofit and
is not free software.  Perhaps more concerningly, it is centralized --
gdal/osgeo can't host their own slack server.  And using things like
slack asks users to enter into a contract with a company that isn't a
501(c)3 (US term) or equivalent.

In the short term, freenode->libera is sort of maintaining things as
they are.

I'm +0.8 on matrix.   Taking off 0.2  because the clients seem to be
javascript running on some sort of chromium, but it seems to be all free
software.
