Cheers for the feedback Deep, Sadly given the scale of the current community it would cost up to around 1.6 million USD per year to use enterprise slack.
I know some OSS communities have this enabled for free, slack has been approached about this but have sadly declined to give pyslackers the same privilege. Outside of doing a huge fundraiser every year I don't think there is a reasonable way to go about this. Just to make a quick disclaimer, I am an admin of this slack community - but derive no profit or benefit from it other than community engagement. Obviously we're happy to be mentioned in conference talks. But i don't see any real reason why we should be promoted at conferences at the moment. This is feeling quite off topic at this point.
