Interesting experiment, I'd be happy to hear how that goes. With slack being such a walled garden, always-on and immediate I've always been skeptical of its effectiveness as a tool for discussions in an open group. Keep us posted on the results of your experience though because one thing is clear: email is on its way out as newer generations have not learned how to use it and the old generation has done a terrible job at teaching/improving it anyway :) Cheers, stef

Why? This is an important point I think. If we were talking about an OpenStack project team, the use of Slack would be really questionable. * Because it doesn't fulfill the "open community" requirement [0] (at least if the said project team was using Slack for their meetings), * Because of a number of reasons such as: invite only, account required, no public logging, non-standard communication protocol, powered by proprietary software /and/ not managed by the infra team. [0] http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/open-community.html We are talking about an OpenStack user group here, so we might consider things differently. But in my opinion, the "open community" aspect should be a core and critical principle in our local user groups as well as in our project teams. The OpenStack french speaking user group happily uses #openstack-fr on Freenode for both a bit of social and local events discussion and user support. Adrien
