Re: Slack for Accumulo
>From reading previous discussions on the ASF slack, it looks like it's OK for everyone (users, contributors, etc) to join and an invite link can posted on project websites. Apache Beam has one on their contact page: https://beam.apache.org/community/contact-us/ I will create a pull request with something similar for the Accumulo website.

Re: Slack for Accumulo
I am cool with an Accumulo channel on the-asf.slack.com. I was able to join easily using my apache email address. How can users without an apache.org email address join the 'the-asf' workspace? It would be nice to put instructions for joining on our contact us page. On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 4:31 PM Michael Wall wrote: > Yeah, there are some Apache projects that use slack.

Just made one -- I only saw Mike Wall on slack so far (invited him). On 12/10/18 4:31 PM, Michael Wall wrote: Yeah, there are some Apache projects that use slack. Can you create an Accumulo channel at https://the-asf.slack.com? I don't recall what I did to set up my account there, but I did have to use my apache.org email account. The only thing I see from other communities is a small delay for users since they need to be given access to the channel. +1 to shutting down IRC.

Re: Slack for Accumulo
Yeah, there are some Apache projects that use slack. Can you create an Accumulo channel at https://the-asf.slack.com? I don't recall what I did to set up my account there, but I did have to use my apache.org email account. The only thing I see from other communities is a small delay for users since they need to be given access to the channel. +1 to shutting down IRC.

Re: Slack for Accumulo
We did have a HipChat room, but we didn't advertise it well and nobody really used it. With all that happened with HipChat being bought by Atlassian and then sold off to Slack (or something like that), I'm not sure where ASF Infra currently stands on providing chat as an ASF resource. I have no objections to trying out Slack within the project. However, if Infra does move towards something in future (like an official ASF Slack group), we should try to follow whatever path they pave. Regardless of whether Slack pans out, we should probably shut down the IRC room... hardly anybody uses it, and the few that do are lurkers only or bots.

Slack for Accumulo
I would like to create a Slack chatroom for Accumulo and advertise it on on our 'contact us' page [1] with an invite link to make it easy to join. Is anyone opposed to this? There will be no requirement that Accumulo users or developers use Slack. We currently have an IRC chatroom but it's not used much. I think Slack will be used more as it's simpler and saves the latest history which helps if you join an ongoing discussion. If it ends up being rarely used over the next few months, I am OK with shutting it down. [1]: https://accumulo.apache.org/contact-us/
