Yeay! Another communication forum. Just what OSM needs.

Ok so look, Slack took over the world. And it turns out it’s pretty
good and useful. Let’s have an official OSM slack.

I’ve found two OSM-related slacks. Someone owns
openstreetmap.slack.com <http://openstreetmap.slack.com> and there is
also osmus-slack.herokuapp.com <http://osmus-slack.herokuapp.com> as a
front door to the US slack. The former I can’t find a lot about. The
latter is mentioned here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Maryland
And it has a neat thing to throw out invites to people. There’s also a
neat bot that it looks like tmcw wrote:

I’m proposing that a) we have a global slack and b) it be ‘official’
whatever that means. Having not been able to find this, I invite
everyone over to:
https://awesomestreetmap.slack.com
So unless there is a secret slack somewhere that I missed, or
something, I need help:
* Come join this slack, send me an email for an invite
* Can someone please add the osmbot to this slack?
* Can someone please make the magic “send me an invite thing” for this
slack?
* Please help edit http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slack and also
make slack a prominent part of other methods of communication
* Please announce this on your favorite existing mailing list, forum
or IRC channel
I realize that I’m inviting a discussion about how slack is an evil
company or that we should all just use IRC, and those are fine
arguments I don’t have the energy for.
Best
Steve
