Michal, The client code is proprietary, and the browser is just a platform from which to execute the code. It's similar to running Skype's proprietary binary on Debian. Running a proprietary application on a Free operating system does not change the freedom of the application. -Serge ___

Re: [Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Slack

Martijn, I think your approach on this issue is spot on. I personally think that when a project like OSM supports non-Free software, especially ones run by external entities, it sends absolutely the wrong message. Worse still is if we force users to use these gatekeepers to interface with our com

Re: [Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Slack

I find this a really worthwhile conversation to have. IRC is still great for some but it’s hardly inclusive. I like Slack and started using it early on. We set up an OSM US Slack, initially just for the board to coordinate, but we extended it to be open for all soon. They even give us free stuff

Re: [Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Slack

Slack offers an irc gateway if you'd prefer to connect to slack from your irc client. Just sign up for the slack team and look in the "integrations" section for information about how to connect your irc client. On Mar 29, 2016 11:33 AM, "Toby Murray" wrote: > I have set up a Slack bot using some

Re: [Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Slack

I have set up a Slack bot using some software[1] that relays messages between a slack channel and an IRC channel. It is listening in #osm on OFTC and the #irc slack channel in Steve's team. I love my irssi+screen IRC setup however it kind of breaks down when it comes to a phone-friendly interface.
