Yep, I am only talking about IRC (from freenode, #gluster, #gluster-dev
etc).  Also, I am not saying we are 'replacing IRC'. Gluster as a project
started in pre-Slack era, and we have many users who prefer to stay in IRC.
So, for now, no pressure to make a statement calling Slack channel as a
'Replacement' to IRC.

Thanks Kaleb. I was bit confused on why the concern of it came up in this
group.

Yes! but come from very different internal teams.

Michael supports Gluster (the project) team's Infrastructure needs, and has
valid concerns from his perspective :-) I, on the other hand, bother more
about code, users, and how to make sure we are up-to-date with other
technologies and communities, from the engineering view point.

Again, re-iterating here. Not planning to use any bridges from IRC to
Slack. I re-read the Slack API Terms and condition. And it makes sense.
They surely don't want us to build another slack, or abuse slack with too
many API requests made for collecting logs.

Currently, to start with, we are not adding any bots (other than github
bot). Hopefully, that will keep us under proper usage guidelines.
