Good morning Georg,there are several people on the #ofbiz Slack channel with mail addresses other than @apache.org so this should work.
What makes you think that Slack will read all your email contacts then? I am pretty sure that this can be switched off for data protection reasons.

Devanshu,I tried to get an account with Slack to join the room as you mentioned. However, I can only create an account with an email address that ends with @apache.org. When I try to get an account with Google instead, it apparently reads all my email addresses from my PC. But following that I cannot use one of these because I have no @apache.org email address.Georg -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Devanshu Vyas Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2020 2:18 PM To: user@ofbiz.apache.org Subject: OFBiz Community Days - November 2020 Hello all, We are back with OFBiz Community Days, hope you are excited too! :-) The community days are organized once per quarter so a total of four(4) events throughout the year. We are having a sequence of 5 days that form the Community Days. This extends the time frame and gives people more flexibility to contribute. So, this month our Community Days will be from *27th November – 1st December 2020*.If you are new to the concept of Community Days then please take a look atthe following wiki pages: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Dayshttps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days+DatesThis is such an event where anyone can participate (and we would like to encourage as many people as possible to do so)If there is an OFBiz task or particular area that you would like to work on then please see if you can set aside some time over the next few days to doit. (Even an hour will help!) Remember that you do not have to work on it alone, our Community Days are also a chance to collaborate with others in the community. Our Community Days are not only coding related, but we would also like to do some tidy up of our wiki and our project documentation. *Testing, Review and Committing Patches*Testing and applying patches is always an important area. Many contributorsfrom the community have provided patches for bugs and improvements but before committing them we need to test to them. Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not tested early enough then they can miss out on being included. We have a large number of patches available so this could be a good opportunity for test, review and commit. *Documentation* We know that our current documentation could be a whole lot better so any contribution that helps us improve it is welcome. *Jira Sprint*I will create a Jira sprint "OFBiz Community Day (November 2020)" so pleaseadd any Jira tasks when you are working on it. This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included. To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option on the issue and select the sprint field. We should add the Sprint in all the cases: 1.) If we create a ticket we should add it. 2.) If we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it after a commit) we should add sprint if it is missing.Basically adding Sprint will make sure the contribution will be counted inOFBiz community days event, which is from 27th November – 1st December.At the end of November's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 1st December, thiswill help us in reporting. *OFBiz Slack Channel* If you haven't already taken a look, our OFBiz Slack channel is available all the time but can be especially useful when collaborating during our Community Days event. Please join our room using the link below: https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slackaccount using this invite link <https://s.apache.org/slack-invite> and join the *#ofbiz channel*. <https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel> Please do*not* ask OFBiz questions/discussion in the #general channel.Let's all collaborate to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.Thanks & Regards, Devanshu Vyas.
