Hmm, Brian raises a very good point, though ... this is to improve accessibility as well as transparency. So if it's not easy for folks to get onto the ASF slack, we probably need a different approach.
I've never heard of Matrix, but a poke around their site shows a very interesting product but not much in the way of integrations. I therefore think that gitter.im might be a better alternative. I'm not sure it's the best UI, but I know of several open source projects that are using it (antora, datanucleus, vlingo) and a search shows a few other Apache projects also on there (camel, airflow, ignite, Juneau). What do folks think?
