sourcefu.com expires in 11 days on November 28th and once again I'm thinking about letting it expire. And shutting down this channel. I still like the idea, a software development community with an emphasis on friendliness, transparency, and open source, but I think we could have a better brand, a better name. |

One idea I have is to relaunch on Gitter with something like "codecraft" in the name, as I wrote about at http://or8.net/pipermail/codecraft/2018-October/000249.html |

Gitter has an IRC gateway that I use all the time. |

Or I could relaunch on freenode under a new name, I suppose, but freenode doesn't seem to appreciate public logging very much. https://freenode.net/policies#public-logging starts with "If you are considering publishing channel logs, think it through." |

So Gitter seems like a better cultural fit for me. I feel more aligned with the amount of transparency Gitter promotes. |

On a related note, I proposed a talk with the title "Transparency in chat culture: Gitter vs. IRC, Slack, and the rest" for next year's LibrePlanet. "The culture of transparency Gitter brings to chat is healthy for free software. IRC, XMPP, Slack, and almost every other chat system encourage decision making behind closed doors." |

I'm open to other chat platforms that have a similar culture of transparency, but they're hard to find. Matrix/Riot seems like a contender but this issue I opened is a deal breaker for me: "URL for an arbitrary day of history and navigation for next and previous days" https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/7677 |

We have this already in this channel, of course: http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2018-11-17 |

aditsu bear codex dotplus kzisme prologic semiosis sivoais_ tumdedum: If we swiched from freenode to Gitter (again, there's an IRC gateway I use all the time), would you come along? |
