I second this,
a productive and intuitive alternative for proper communication is essential.
We need to be connected to work more efficiently, all of us.
We need to be better in sync so we can immediately speak to one another and
solve problems, answer requests et al.
Forget what is and what isn't proprietary, I don't think we're a house of
criminals. Even I agree with Snowden, but this is not the time nor place to be
concerned about anything; to argue about stuff like privacy and data
collection, software freedom and what not.
Most services either aren't free or if they are they collect some data.
This is the world we live in. We need to work together more efficiently, so I
vote for whatever is necessary to be more productive.

Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in. We call it the Ice
Cream Principle. Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with one condition: they
all have to agree on one flavour. That flavour is going to be chocolate or
vanilla every time. Groups of people don't agree on what's cool or interesting,
they agree on what's easy to agree on.

Any updates about this?
Has Slack been set up for Ubuntu GNOME? Are there any (unlimited + free)
alternatives?
Ali has a point, Slack (and similar products) are just better for dealing with
large teams, allowing natively to set up schedules, tasks, etc.

Discourse seems somewhat orthogonal to IRC/Chat platforms, I guess it would be
a better substitute for mailing list/forum than replacing
real-time messaging.
Pretty much all of the flavours are still going the traditional way:
Mailing Lists
IRC
askubuntu + ubuntuforums.org (we are not very active on these though, apart
from maybe Lance!)
some flavours have a presence on reddit also
Ubuntu wiki
Launchpad for bug tracking and team management.
The community team did setup a discourse instance however it looks like that is
going to discontiued now.
