Hi Everyone Thanks very much for all the feedback. I think consensus is showing that the community would like to continue to use the HipChat tool.
So for next steps I will 1) Request Infra to setup an OFBiz HipChat room with a guest access link so that anyone can join the room 2) Send out invitations to the committers to join the room so that it can be used for mentoring This gives flexibility so that anyone from the community can use the room for collaboration, mentoring or just to generally hang out. Once the room is setup I will publish the guest link on the wiki and also post an email on the user mailing list to let our users know about the room as they too may want to collaborate on Jiras. We have another Community Day coming up on 17th September so let's see how the HipChat works for that.
