I stand by http://matrix.org and http://vector.im as our future.

dominicm 2016-06-10T11:34:37.000012Z

I think they're really solid, and solve exactly our problem

seancorfield 2016-06-10T15:16:00.000013Z

@dominicm: do you want to set up test accounts on them and invite people in to kick the tires?

dominicm 2016-06-10T15:16:34.000014Z

@seancorfield: There's no accounts to be made. There is a #C03S1KBA2 channel on the http://matrix.org official server.

dominicm 2016-06-10T15:17:19.000015Z

When it became "ours" I think we'd be best off running our own server.

seancorfield 2016-06-10T15:18:42.000016Z

That will be non-starter unless you can find a company to host it. Is your company volunteering?

dominicm 2016-06-10T15:21:53.000017Z

The main http://matrix.org server runs on 4GB of RAM. I don't think think that it would be difficult to find a host. I think there is an instance somewhere set up by our resident sysop (He has shaggy for an avatar)

I tried to join #clojure - it said it wasn't a valid channel.

You'll need to do more education / evangelism here if you want folks to try vector / matrix :)

2016-06-10T15:27:04.000020Z

might be https://vector.im/beta/#/room/#clojure:matrix.org

works for me

dominicm 2016-06-10T17:57:06.000023Z

@seancorfield: you seem to be implying that just mentioning my favourite in passing isn't enough to create a mass switch!
