Most people already use slack for work and most of the projects with
high engagement use it, too. While I agree that I wish the open source
community would adopt open source tools, the reality is we still use
GitHub, Slack, and Zoom for the majority of them. Using the tools that
your community is already using is usually a more effective way of
supporting engagement.

And why don't you just do the right thing and drop these semi-closed-source
stuff and use XMPP, about the only free/GPLed messenger service.
It has:
- no central provider
- no central servers
- server software free for anyone to install
- lots of free xmpp services around
- crypted or not crypted on user choice
-> https://xmpp.org/
You use email, why?

We (at least many developers and some users) actively use Slack at
https://gluster.slack.com
While I agree that it's not a free/open alternative to IRC, it does get
many questions answered, and also gets communication happen related to the
project.

I'm relatively new to the community but I would vote for having a point
of presence on libera.chat, or OFTC as some other F/OSS projects are
moving there as an alternative. I use IRC daily for supporting my own
projects as well as related projects such as GlusterFS. Personally I
hadn't heard of Matrix until the whole Freenode fiasco happened, so I
would imagine others may be in the same boat. Anyway, just my $0.02 :)

Hi all,
I hope many of us are aware of the recent changes that happened at
Freenode IRC network(in case you are not, feel free to look into
details based on various resignation letters from long-time then
Freenode staff starting with [1]). In the light of this take over
situation, many open source communities have moved over to its
replacement i.e, libera.chat[2].
Now I would like to open this up to GlusterFS community to think about
moving forward with our current IRC channels(#gluster, #gluster-dev and
#gluster-meeting) on Freenode. How important are those channels for
GlusterFS project? How about moving over to libera.chat in case we
stick to IRC communication?
Let's discuss and conclude on the way forward..
Note:- Matrix[3] platform is also an option nowadays and we do have a
Gluster room(#gluster:matrix.org) there ! welcome..welcome :-)
