Today the foundation doesn't have anything that would fit that description other than IRC (and I really think that's not enough these days). I have a lot of issues with us relying on Slack (including forcing ppl to have accounts there). So the way I see it is this: foundation offering email and Matrix would provide an MVP for independent channels of communications for our communities (and then we can even do things like https://matrix.org/docs/projects/bridge/matrix-appservice-slack) Thoughts? Thanks, Roman.
