One of the big topics of conversation at ApacheCon was how many folks warmed to the idea of using Slack or Gitter for real time communication for their projects, but many folks on the Apache Team were worried that there was no archive available of conversations in Slack chat to the Apache Infrastructure Team.
We seem to have achieved the impossible. By using a few tools we now have all chat in #general channel on the Milagro Slack team being routed into the [email protected] mailing list every three or four minutes. We do this with a few tools. It's convoluted because the Apache Mailing list will not let email accounts sign with with reply-to, so we had to mash some things together. 1. Mailclark / https://mailclark.ai forwards the email out of the #general channel to Mailparser /mailparser.io. 2. Mailparser creates an HTTP Rest Call to the Gmail API to send an email into the [email protected] mailing list from the [email protected] email account. This only goes one way for now (from Slack to [email protected] mailing list). Hopefully this makes the folks who want to use Slack happy and also the Apache Community happy who, rightly so, want a record of information that has transpired to be logged into the mailing lists. Have a good weekend. On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 1:15 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > NOTE: ALL CHAT IN THIS CHANNEL is sent to the > [[email protected]][email protected] > [/url] > mail list.
