Greetings Devs!
For those who aren't aware, Tim Sutton and I created a new community
site with Revolt.
Revolt is a FOSS alternative to Discord that has many of the features
of Discord (for those who know about Discord), but without the not-so-friendly
TOS.
Some features are missing, but are planned as Revolt is in very active
development (such as the overhauled .
I gave a presentation on a QGIS Open Day session regarding the new
community site (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrvTnkGNzSw)
A big reason for creating this, was to help centralize and organize the
community. A key feature is being able to have multiple rooms (channels) for
various topics all under one single roof. Need a new room for some major thing
without clogging up the main dev channel (such as Qt 6 work)? Need a room for
discussing the new QGIS website aside from comments on Figma (already suggested
to Anita)? Creating separate rooms for these discussions is very easy (takes a
few seconds), and helps organize things, and increases community involvement
and feedback.
I have setup already, a couple of development rooms: core development,
plugin development, translations, documentation, and a general chat for
hackfests (Carlos, Amy, Raymond, and Tim already posted tons of photos from the
hackfest in Firenze).
Right now, the server isn't very active. But, I believe that with
enough key/core members using it, it will gain traction as we use it. There are
already numerous people signed up for this server.
I recommend checking it out, there are desktop apps, mobile apps, and a
Web App available (plus with being FOSS, custom apps are completely allowed,
unlike Discord).
Please feel free to provide feedback. A couple of people have already
made suggestions; and things have been rearranged, and changed since it's
initial setup and launch, so nothing is set in stone.

Let me know if you have any questions. We made this for the QGIS
community, as we believe this is a great platform for such a large and active
community and would like to see it used.
Thanks,
Ethan Snyder
