Hi everyone, I'm very happy to announce that the Apache Flink community has created a dedicated Slack workspace [1]. Welcome to join us on Slack.
## Join the Slack workspace You can join the Slack workspace by either of the following two ways: 1. Click the invitation link posted on the project website [2]. 2. Ask anyone who already joined the Slack workspace to invite you. We recommend 2), if available. Due to Slack limitations, the invitation link in 1) expires and needs manual updates after every 100 invites. If it is expired, please reach out to the dev / user mailing lists. ## Community rules When using the community Slack workspace, please follow these community rules: * *Be respectful* - This is the most important rule! * All important decisions and conclusions *must be reflected back to the mailing lists*. "If it didn’t happen on a mailing list, it didn’t happen." - The Apache Mottos [3] * Use *Slack threads* to keep parallel conversations from overwhelming a channel. * Please *do not direct message* people for troubleshooting, Jira assigning and PR review. These should be picked-up voluntarily. ## Maintenance Committers can refer to this wiki page [4] for information needed for maintaining the Slack workspace. Thanks Jark, Martijn and Robert for helping setting up the Slack workspace. Best, Xintong [1] https://apache-flink.slack.com/ [2] https://flink.apache.org/community.html#slack [3] http://theapacheway.com/on-list/ [4] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Slack+Management
