In fact it was initially created for the members of the Linux Foundation project only, which is why registration is moderated for emails that don't have a domain linked to a member (BTW not any Google account will just work e.g. @gmail.com is moderated, only @google.com for Google employees isn't). And yes IRC is the "least common denominator" chat platform. Maybe having a bridge between the main Slack channel and IRC would help. Guillaume
