Hi Folks, While working on ApacheCon last week, I had to get setup on ASF's slack workspace. After poking around a bit, on a whim I created #cassandra and #cassandra-dev. I then invited a couple of people to come signup and test it out - primarily to make sure that the process was seamless for non-ASF account holders as well as committers, etc (it was).
If you want to jump in, you can signup here: https://s.apache.org/slack-invite That said, I think it's time we transition from IRC to Slack. Now, I like CLI friendly, straight forward tools like IRC as much as anyone, but it's been more than once recently where a user I've talked to has said one of two things regarding our IRC channels: "What's IRC?" or "Yeah, I don't really do that anymore." In short, I think it's time to migrate. I think this will really just consist of some communications to our lists and updating the site (anything I'm missing?). The archives of IRC should just kind of persist for posterity sake without any additional effort or maintenance. The ASF-requirements are all configured already on the Slack workspace, so I think we are good there. Thanks, -Nate
