Sorry to all for taking so long to get the invites out.  I have a script 
which is supposed to auto-grant access upon registration, but had some 
issues on my server earlier.  This is was just a random thought I had while 
coding in a coffee shop a few days ago.  I use slack for other projects I'm 
in and it just started with asking a couple friends if we could start a 
Node group.

@Aria - Would love it if you and some of the other major contributors 
joined (if you haven't already).  I respect alot of the content you post 
here in this google group.  It would be awesome if some of the folks I 
consider to be major players would hop on the Slack chat sometimes :)

@Zach - "Also, isn't there a way to integrate the IRC channel into Slack?"
  -I'm working on this soon :)   I see some tutorials going the other way 
(Slack to IRC), but I'm working on getting the IRC actually embedded in 
Slack soon.

If you have any other ideas, I have a trello board for users to submit/vote 
on feature requests 
- https://trello.com/b/aZKdh2La/nodeslackers-io-development

I plan to build nodeslackers.io into a collaborative community.  Just don't 
know exactly how yet.  Slack is the first step :)
