Re: Slack for PLUG

2020-01-03 Thread Donald Mac McCarthy
I know slack is not F/OSS, but it is nearly ubiquitous. Many of my
clients use it and as such, I use it to communicate with their team as
well. As much as I hate to admit it, I have 9 slacks open right now. It
can sometimes seem like too much, but it is nice to be able to check
messages in one interface and not 20.

https://slack.com/pricing

The users are not limited in the slack free plan, but it only stores the
last 10k messages. I believe the non-profit license comes with some
support which is why it gets limited. None of the data is stored
encrypted, although the client does use TLS for transport to and from
the server.

I would prefer that everyone use IRC or jabber since you can tie those
into the same client and even use PKI over jabber, but alas, they don't.
Slack is the new way of the world for the time being.

It could also help grow and expand the group by making it more
accessible to those who are not "if it isn't IRC or ICQ, get of my lawn"
type folks.

I would toss my vote for slack for none other than how I have seen it
help other users' groups grow.

Someday - I'll jump on the freenode IRC - I just have to remember which
server and which screen my irssi client live on.

Re: Slack for PLUG

2020-01-03 Thread Jill Rouleau
https://www.irccloud.com/

It's a cloud-based irc client/bouncer with a modern web UI and mobile apps.  (A
bouncer is like an irc connection proxy that stores channel and chat logs for
you when your client isn't connected.)  For folks who don't want to or can't run
their own bouncer or just want an easier interface to irc it's a really great
option.  So if you like things like Slack because they're more user-friendly
this is a good client-based alternative that won't lock you into a proprietary
chat solution.  This is usually my go-to client for introducing new f/oss
contributors to irc and I'd definitely feature it prominently in any intro to
irc talk.

Re: Slack for PLUG

2020-01-03 Thread Thomas Scott
I also vote for Slack - I love having things self hosted (as i type this
ironically in gmail), but having too many "app(s) [services] for that" also
clashes with my ability to practice the Unix philosophy of "do one thing
well".

I still use google-voice for sms as well. Until mint was definitively the
cheapest pre-purchased mobile service, I could hop whenever it was cheaper
to a new data plan (provider agnostic) and keep my number without any
porting hassles. I also use it to avoid picking up my phone using my
browsers single website mode, coincidentally my texts get a little long
winded .

I've had so many services over the past 25 years or so, at this point I
don't do any more than I have to.  I like slack because it's business
partners and customers mostly so professional, and it's pretty universal.
I ran discord for a bit last year for a game I was playing, but that's
about it.  I still use gvoice/hangouts for all my sms, signal atop that,
and that's about it.

As Hans said, Plug does have IRC, but of all things IRC is one thing I've
never gotten into using after all these years, or more never had a reason
to continue using.  Perhaps less is more and should though.

I’d imagine we would want to setup an open-source solution of some kind.

I’d be willing to setup a rocket chat, for example, but I don’t know what that 
would take for our audience, not had anyone said anything about wanting one.
Nobody expressing interest may also be why it never happened, though.

Re: Slack for PLUG

2019-12-31 Thread Ed
When you think Slack, think Yahoo Groups
I've used Slack too - sometimes it is useful(like them bots), sometimes not. I
wouldn't depend on it, same goes for  Discourse
For PLUG, it should be something free - as in speech, beer too if lucky
Happy New Year Everyone

I use Slack chat a lot with various customers and partners, and it's 
free to nonprofits ala PLUG (I think) if under 250 users.  Not sure 
how many folks are actually joined to PLUG offer that to everyone 
(that would actually participate), but I'd be interested in joining it 
if one existed with the folks that normally participated here.


Thoughts?

There are some Matrix gateways to Freenode, but I haven't tried any.
