Clojurians Log v2

(accidentally replied to myself instead of you, earlier) If you don't mind waiting a day or two for Gert Goet to review the article and suggest any changes he thinks of, I don't mind submitting a PR to that repo to add this article to it.

Skimming over what is there now, I think I had heard, but forgotten because it has been quite some time, the term "Slackpocalypse". I guess Slack didn't do many repeats of the kicking large OSS communities off their free service.

Yeah, we kept anticipating being kicked off as we approached 8k, then 9k, then 10k... and nothing happened... and now we're at 20k... but perhaps it's all about the number of active uses in which case we're still only at 1k and I suspect Slack doesn't care about that 🙂

But I would certainly be completely happy if everyone decamped from here and landed at Zulip...

Hello! Would be alright if I added a separate channel for our reading group on “Clojure for the Brave and True”? It will go on throughout 2021 and we could use a place to catch up in between the sessions. 🙂

@asamonek I don't think anyone will object. Quite the opposite, it's very nice to see you organize this.

There does seem to be a channel already? #braveandtrue

@asamonek alternatively you can setup a stream on Clojurians-Zulip (https://clojurians.zulipchat.com). Among other things it uses topics for scoped discussions (chapters?), and messages are persisted which prevents the ‘this channel looks abandoned’ that newcomers might run into. I can help you setup if necessary.

I just added @zulip-mirror-bot to the #braveandtrue channel so any future posts there will be archived to Zulip. It already had @logbot. I agree with @eval2020 that organizing a stream on Zulip with topics for each chapter is likely to be a better option for you @asamonek since it will retain all messages posted there and it will be searchable. If you use #braveandtrue here on Slack, the messages will disappear after a few days and search will not find them (although they will be logged to the clojureverse log for clojurians and to the slack-archive > braveandtrue topic on zulip).
