[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] Freenode takeover and GlusterFS IRC channels

[Joe Julian]

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.
