Hi all,

I'm doing an experiment with slack.com as IRC alternative. I'm no
expert in slack, first time I ever used, if you have more experience
let me know so I can add you as admin.

The biggest annoyance at the time is sign up that requires an
invitation, I sent to some in this list, others can do based on
domains such as @samsung.com, @osg.samsung.com and so on... but they
do not allow comcast.net or gmail.com to auto-join.

So if you want to join, let me know your email and I'll send the invitation.

I've added some interesting plugins as people were demanding
voice/video calls at some point, these 2 can be better than simply
keeping a google Hangouts open all the time (and night!):

 /appear edevelop

    creates an appear.in video/voice chat https://appear.in/edevelop
just click to join, no app or registration is required. Seems to have
a 8 person limit.

 /hangout

     creates a hangout invitation link and post to channel, people can
click to join. Marcel told it also has a limit on video users.

Since we often need to remember people of stuff:

 /remind [@person or #channel] [what] [when]
 /remind me to drink water at 3pm every day
 /remind me on June 1st to wish Linda happy birthday
 /remind #team-alpha to update the project status every Monday at 9am
 /remind @jessica about the interview in 3 hours
 /remind @peter tomorrow "Please review the office seating plan"

or:

  /todo @okra fix ephoto!
  /mytodo help vtorri with ecore-con on win32


It can integrate with jenkins as well, but I don't have the permission
to do that in our jenkins.

So far, the web-browser version is as usable as the app, at least on
Linux/Chrome, so no install is required. It looks quite nice and also
provides phone applications (iOS version is very good). I also liked
that it have built-in "pastebin", just click the "[+]" at the left
side of the message box to send one.
