From today's community meeting, we had an item from the issue queue:

Should we have a Gluster Community slack team? I'm interested in
everyone's thoughts on this.
As fancy as Slack is, I really don't like how dependant so many
projects have become on it, it's not open source, the desktop client
is dreadful (heavy javascript webframe), you're at the mercy of the
companies decisions around the direction of their 'black box' software
platform etc...
+1. If I am not online on IRC, I am not 'ping-able' at that point in
time. From what I understand, slack takes that away by being able to
send offline messages. We already have email for that. For people like
me who get anxious until I hit reply to an email that is addressed to
me, slack doesn't sound all that fun. Searching IRC archives on a need
basis works just fine. On a lighter note,

Personally I've found that discourse is a fantastic platform for
project discussion, help and ideas: https://discourse.org
and for chat I've found that if IRC + a good web frontend for
history/search isn't enough using either Mattermost
(https://about.mattermost.com/) or Rocket Chat (https://rocket.chat/)
has been very successful.
Just my 2c and I'll be happy to be a part of the community no matter
where it ends up.
