+1 to remove IRC channel. Slacck channel seems to be kind of closed and everybody needs to be added and conversations are not open to public without being member of that channel. Gitter is open and we can explore gitter if we really want to have a live channel communication for users.

Btw, Apache Beam maintains Slack channel but it's likely for contributors and committers. Personally I like the approach, but in order to make this successful, many of us need to tolerate having one more interactive (ping-able) channel. If they're dedicated to Storm project it doesn't matter, but if not it might really matter. - Jungtaek Lim (HeartSaVioR) 2017년 7월 20일 (목) 오후 11:30, Bobby Evans <[email protected]>님이 작성: > Moving to the dev mailing list as it is more than just the PMC that > provides support for storm. > > > - Bobby > > > > On Wednesday, July 19, 2017, 6:27:12 PM CDT, Hugo Louro < > [email protected]> wrote: > > > The first question is, do we want to provide chat support?
