[Dean Wampler]

Okay, here is a Gitter room for this purpose:

https://gitter.im/spark-scala/Lobby

If you use the APIs, please join and help those who are learning. I can't
answer every question.

Since I'm a Scala Spark advocate, I'll try to get a Scala Spark Gitter
channel created, one way or another.

Yes this come up once in a while. There's no need or way to stop people
forming groups to chat, though blessing a new channel as 'official' is
tough because it means, in theory, everyone has to follow another channel
to see 100% of the discussion. I think that's why the couple of mailing
lists, which can be controlled and archived by the ASF, will stay the
official channels. But, naturally there's no problem with people forming
unofficial communities.

Apache Spark chat channel

[Jan-Hendrik Zab]

Hello!

There was a request on scala-debate [0] to create a Spark centric chat
room under the scala namespace on Gitter with a focus on Scala related
questions.

This is just a heads up to the Apache Spark "management" to give them a
chance to get involved. It might be better to create a dedicated channel
under the Apache umbrella to better serve all users and not only those
using Scala. Avoiding any artificial split of the Spark community.
Reasons for having such a channel can be found in the linked thread.

ps.
Please CC me, since I'm not on the list.

Best,
-jhz
