I agree with Mickael, having multiple isn't great. But since Mattermost is a modern tool that people who have joined it, love it. I suggest dropping
IRC, or trying out the bridge from IRC to Mattermost.

Caveat: I hate IRC and refuse to ever use it so I'm a bit biased. I guess
Mickael and I will never get to chat in real time. ;)

so, irc, hipchat, slack, glitter and now mattermost.

One thing I realise is that the four latter ones are great for closed groups (i.e. companies, closed netted),
but suck for open communities.

My vote goes for irc.

If you don't like irc - considered using a decent client ? :)

Hi All,

The Eclipse folks are running a Mattermost instance since a couple of weeks.

Mattermost is like IRC, but pretty, intuitive with more functionalities,
like persist messages, bots to integrate bugzilla, forums, etc.

I really think it can boost productivity!

Many Eclipse projects already have a dedicated channel in Mattermost,
and I think it'll be a good idea to create a WTP channel too

What do you think ?

I believe multiplying the community on multiple channels (IRC vs
Mattermot) is actually a communication and productivity anti-pattern, and
divides the community instead of aggregating it.
I'm trying to reduce the amount of IRC-like technologies I use because following conversations and topics become a nightmare. So I'll remain on
good old IRC if you need me.
