Hi,
I'd like to submit for the community's consideration the idea of having a Kamailio Slack channel.
Emmanuel Schmidbauer took the initiative to create one:
The sign-in link is: https://join.slack.com/t/kamailio/shared_invite/enQtNDY1NDc5MzMwNDIzLWJlNTFh...
I for one think this is a good idea and, even if it doesn't ultimately get traction, it should be seriously considered by all.
Yes, I am aware of the open-source-purist objection to Slack; it is proprietary and perceived to be a "walled garden" of sorts. Furthermore, for those of us who have been on the Internet and involved in technology for a significant amount of time, the irony is not lost that it is little more than a packaging of the "IRC" experience in the bloated form of a modern JavaScript application.
I am also very reluctant to contribute in any way to the Balkanisation or fracturing of project-related communication channels. That thought gives me no comfort. These are all concerns of which I'm mindful.
Nevertheless:
- A great deal of professional real-time messaging and communication in many organisations has moved to Slack. This is also true of our company, and most companies we work with. Thus, a Slack channel for Kamailio would be highly complementary to a platform many other people are already using.
- Slack provides a polished and cohesive user experience, which is why it has become so popular. There are clients for every platform, and a seamless user experience that is also highly compatible with mobile and tablet.
One can shoehorn IRC into these media, but it clearly is not designed for them.
- There are already lots of open-source discussion channels and developer forums on Slack.
- Slack's inline Markdown and other conveniences make it _much_ easier to have discussions about code, configurations, etc., since it is easy to insert inline monospace and multiline blobs, attachments, etc. This is what inspired my switch to it.
- A lot of people positioned within the current wave of thinking about IT and technology, and thus a big part of our candidate user base, have never used IRC.
Anyway, for those interested, I propose that you join Emmanuel and I. Let's see how it works out?

That's a great idea, though i doubt it'll get much traction... be right in!

Thanks guys for taking the initiative!

Well, we've got 12 people on, so clearly there has been some interest.

We've got about 20 people now, so while it is early to proclaim enduring success, I think it illustrates that there are in fact a lot of Slack users here and that this phenomenon has some traction.
