Hi,

I wanted to let everyone know that, as part of our effort to expand our community resources, we have started building out some resources. We are working on a forum, some github projects for FreeSWITCH and SignalWire tools and we started a slack space.

I personally have resisted more modern tools, i've been on irc for decades (and we still are #freeswitch on freenode) but our community is growing and we have all gotten more mobile and using multiple devices and we want to make sure we make our community accessible to everyone.

This mailing list will always be here, its running strong for 15 years now!

Here is the link to the signalwire.community slack. Come join and lets discuss how we can continue to innovate in the communications industry.

Yes, You're welcome to connect to that as well. We'll be there waiting for you. We don't discriminate against open source or not open source. We don't impose our will on others but really its more about fair or not fair with us. Slack is free for the type of use we have which is fair. There are some trade-offs for not buying it which is left to you to decide on.

Slack is free. Slack has a lot of features. Free tier has limited features. Companies slowly need features. Slack free becomes “not enough” Companies move to paid tiers. Slack makes money. On Sun, Nov 11, 2018 at 02:53 Madovsky <infos@madovsky.org> wrote:

Yes I actually missed having the "undo send" for longer time, I should have said: "Slack currently has a free tier available". Thanks for clarifying :) Joel. On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 1:41 AM Andrew Clayton < andrew@zeta.digital-domain.net> wrote:

I think if you use it for serious productivity on a team for commercial use, its compelling to pay for each user to get access to premium features. If you don’t need that, the free one is still very useable.

Correct, there's plenty of revenue: https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2018/05/25/breaking-down-slac... Including from ourselves, and we're an infinitesimally tiny company. In promoting the recent addition of the Kamailio Slack channel by a member of the community, I made the following arguments in favour of diversifying beyond IRC, which I will recycle here as they speak somewhat to the issue of why it's become so popular: ----- 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 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. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
