Hey
I fully support having our slack history indexed on google and I think we
should do it sooner rather than later as there are a lot of good threads on
slack that are getting purged out.

I recently learned about Apache Flink making slack conversations google
indexable through linen.dev. That might be worth exploring. Does anyone

What should we do about Slack canceling message history for free tier?

Perhaps we should export history elsewhere?

Re: Apache Druid Slack

2022-01-27 Thread Vadim Ogievetsky
Alright, I have setup the new Slack workspace and updated the link on 
https://druid.apache.org/community/ to point to it.
Please join with the https://druid.apache.org/community/join-slack link (and 
share it with others).
Sadly there is no way to migrate content from one Slack workspace to workspace, 
I am sure we will fill the new channel with great content very quickly!

Re: Apache Druid Slack

There is a lot of friction in joining apache infra slack. Also, I can't
tell if it is a recent policy change but any new invitation to the druid
channel now needs to be approved by ASF slack admin. That seems like one
more manual step to get over. Though is there a way to migrate/copy the
channel contents? There is a whole lot of history that we would want to
retain in the new slack channel.

It sounds like a good idea to me. It's not ideal that the current Slack

Apache Druid Slack

2022-01-20 Thread Vadim Ogievetsky
I think that the PMC should create a new Slack channel for Apache Druid and
shift the community towards using it away from the ASF Slack. I volunteer
to do this on the PMCs behalf and do all the setup/admin work. I would
share admin access with any PMC member.

What is the motivation for this?

As you may have heard, it’s become increasingly difficult for new users
without an @apache.org email address to join the ASF #druid Slack channel.
ASF Infra disabled the option to publicly provide a link to the workspace
to anyone who wanted it, after encountering issues with spammers.

Per Infra’s guidance (https://infra.apache.org/slack.html), new community
members should only be invited as single-channel guests. Unfortunately,
single-channel guests are unable to extend invitations to new members,
including their colleagues who are using Druid. Only someone with full
member privileges is able to extend an invitation to new members. This lack
of consistency doesn’t make the community feel inclusive.

There is a workaround in place (
https://github.com/apache/druid-website-src/pull/278) – users can send an
email to druid-u...@googlegroups.com to request an invite to the Slack
channel from an existing member – but this still poses a barrier to entry,
and isn’t a viable permanent solution. It also creates potential privacy
issues as not everyone is at liberty to announce they’re using Druid nor
wishes to display their email address in a public forum.

I propose we make our own free Slack channel for Apache Druid and encourage
people to migrate to it. Then we can have our own policy on Slack
invitations - I would like to restore the ability for anyone on the web to
join our Slack.

This is not a 100% original idea, in fact this is what other Apache
projects have done, notably Apache Pinot (see "join our slack" on
https://pinot.apache.org/). I propose we do the same.
