Hi devs, Thanks Giannis for your suggestion. It seems that the last email wasn't sent to the dev ML. It is also an interesting topic for devs and user-zh.
Best regards, Jing ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Giannis Polyzos <ipolyzos...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 22, 2023 at 11:11 AM Subject: [Discussion] Slack Channel To: user <u...@flink.apache.org>, <dev@flink.apache.org> Hello folks, considering how apache flink gains more and more popularity and seeing how other open-source projects use Slack, I wanted to start this thread to see how we can grow the community. First of all one thing I have noticed, although there are people involved with Flink only lately they start noticing there is actually an open-source Slack channel. Maybe we can help somehow raise awareness around that? Like inviting people to join. The other part is around the channels. Currently, there is only one channel #troubleshooting for people to ask questions. I believe this creates a few limitations, as there are quite a few questions daily, but it's hard to differentiate between topics, and people with context on specific parts can't identify them easily. I'm thinking it would be nice to create more channels like: #flink-cdc #flink-paimon #flink-datastream #pyflink #flink-sql #flink-statebackends #flink-monitoring #flink-k8s #job-board etc. to help people have more visibility on different topics, make it easier to find answers to similar questions, and search for things of interest. This can be a first step towards growing the community. Best, Giannis
