New Slack setup for Devs and Users

[Jacques Nadeau <ja...@dremio.com>]

Hey Guys,

We've been using Slack a lot internally and have found it very useful. I
setup a new slack for Drill developers and users. I've set it to
automatically accept new users from @apache.org as well as @mapr.com, @
maprtech.com and @dremio.com. I'm more than happy to whitelist other
domains (but slack won't let me enable general domains such as gmail and
yahoo).

If you aren't on one the whitelisted domains, just send me an email and
I'll invite you (or add your domain as appropriate).

Remember, these channels should be used for help as opposed to making
design decisions. My goal is also to post a digest once a week from the
channels back on to the list so that the information is publicly available.

I set up two initial channels: #user and #dev.

Let's see if this makes things easier for everybody.

Slack is real time and handles multiple access points really seamlessly.
Thus, I get a ding on my phone only if I am not logged in on my laptop. It
scours discussions for keywords so that I can ignore things mostly and yet
still pop in when the topics turn to what I need to be involved in.

Email is a disaster for such real-time interactive sorts of conversations.
Slack is perfect for this.

On the other hand, an archived mailing list threaded by topic is *much*
easier for understanding the discussions that went on to get to a decision.

Is Slack threaded as e-mail is?  (If not, and you can't see messages grouped by subject (that is, if it's the case that you can't see the tree of messages for a subject without wading through irrelevant messages that occurred at intervening times), how is Slack better than using the existing e-mail lists?)

Also, should we really be siphoning discussion away from the public Apache Drill mailing lists and into the private Slack enviroment?  (Or did I miss some public way to see what's in Slack?)
