Hi,
I tried the IRC chat for Ansible and it is painful (especially from mobile device). Since Ansible is hosted on Github anyway, wouldn't it be better to leverage the free and integrated  Gitter chat? I have seen other projects on Github using it with great success ...

Thanks for the great tool, btw!

We can use SLACK (http://slack.com)

Here some comments about others experiences using SLACK as replace of IRC


Hope this help

Well you at ansible seem to use slack but where do there mere mortal go?

If you have an @ansible.com email address, you can create an account.

Starting to hear a lot of interest in more than just irc.

I think adding some public Slack channels might be worthwhile, since we also use it for internal communications and we like it.

I will look into it and report back.

Greg,

Did you ever find anything out about this? I was asking folks in the IRC channel about this today. I've been using the Kubernetes and CoreOS slack groups a lot over the past 6 months, and I've started to really like it. It would be nice to have a Ansible slack group.

So here's the thing: we can't afford to be everywhere all at once.

We could definitely consider having public channels for
Slack/Gitter/etc., but they would be unofficial, and we'd have to make
it clear that they were entirely community supported, and that Ansible
folks are paying attention somewhere else (i.e. IRC, where we have
over 1000 people paying attention.)

I could imagine that Slack and Gitter would be popular regardless, but
we'd have to be very clear with these caveats.

Greg,

Might something like this https://github.com/ekmartin/slack-irc be good interim,  so people can use either IRC or Slack and the messages sync between ?

Cheers

Hi,

There is also Matrix (matrix.org), with clients such as Riot (riot.im, web, android, ios) and a bridge to freenode IRC. Basically, if you only care about IRC@freenode, it works as well as irccloud.com, but for free.

Cheers,
Paul
