Slack IRC Gateway support ending
Hi all,
Slack has announced that their gateway for IRC will no longer be available
after May 15th, 2018. [1]
mslackbot was last seen in our IRC channel on February 9th, 2018. [2]
I would like to hear some feedback from the community as to how we should
proceed.
My personal experience has been that folks find it difficult to find their
way into our Slack channel, but once they do, the experience is better than
IRC.
Should also be noted that I haven't seen participation form our IRC channel
in at least six months.
Still, Slack is a walled garden and we're an open source community, so I'd
like some input on wether:
A. We should continue discussions in Slack and advertising Slack channel in
our website. If yes, in what capacity (official or unofficial).
B. We should we continue to link to our IRC channel from our website
considering it has been inactive for so long.

No specific policy that I'm aware of. All decisions must occur on list,
outside of that having a Slack, IRC or other is pretty much left up to each
project and how we want to best foster and help support and grow our
community

Agreed. Maybe Jake can shine some light on wether Apache has a policy.
One thing I forgot to mention is that the loss of the IRC gateway means we
no longer have free access to our older chat logs. (The free version of
Slack limits the amount of history users have access to.)
So that is something else to consider.

I don't have a strong opinion here, the whole chat space is very flavor of
the month. Does Apache have a policy?
