[Discuss-gnuradio] Announcing GNU Radio Slack, a new addition to our community collaboration tools

[Johnathan Corgan]

The GNU Radio project is pleased to announce the addition of a new community resource for our users and developers to collaborate. We’ve created an organization on Slack, the team communications application platform:

https://slack.com/is

The project management and core developers have been trialling this for several weeks with a mostly positive experience, and we’d now like to open it up to the GNU Radio community at large.

Slack is accessible via desktop application, web, or mobile app, and takes full advantage of the capabilities of each to allow text, multimedia, and notifications in real time. We’ve found it very useful as our team has grown in both people and time zones.

We’ve been able to integrate Slack with our existing IRC channel #gnuradio on Freenode, so community members will be able to use either one to gain access to the common channel shared between both. IRC has long been an important meeting place for the project, and our hope is that the Slack integration will allow us to increase the number and ways developers can interact with us, and improve the ease with which people can participate in the community.

Access to the GNU Radio Slack is set up via an email invite you can have automatically generated by visiting:

We look forward to seeing you there!
