If you DO NOT use IRC, would you start communicating regularly with the community if we used a different messaging platform? Maybe some other reason? I am not suggesting anything at the moment, just looking at ways to remove any communication barriers and improve open designs and development. If you DO NOT USE IRC regularly, please follow this link for a short survey. It is completely anonymous and will remain open until 12:00pm Central, Monday September 28th. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/33BVDR6 THANKS!

I was confused by the survey and did not submit my answers. I use the IRC (per [1]) but sometimes go days without reading, and rarely respond. I find IRC setup confusing, but easy enough to use. And I would prefer to use slack features such as a full conversation history and threaded conversations. - Joseph [1]: https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc#contact > https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/33BVDR6 > > THANKS! > > Kurt Taylor (krtaylor) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I use the > IRC (per [1]) but sometimes go days without reading, and rarely Thanks for the question - I could have been more clear about "regular use", and in the survey I do say that a bit better. From your description, I would say that you are not a regular user of IRC. That is, you do your work without periodically discussing it in IRC, and are not actively participating in others work and design discussions. Absolutely no judgement here, this is a common situation that we can hopefully address and facilitate for other developers. Please feel free to take the survey, the feedback will be very much appreciated. Kurt Taylor (krtaylor) > respond. I find IRC setup confusing, but easy enough to use.

For me, it's more that I have set up IRC, but the OpenBMC project is my only use case for IRC. With so many communication channels, IRC seems to fall to the background. It's also hard to review past activity in IRC, other tools like slack make it much easier to look at threads retrospectively. Thanks!

Things I like about continuing to use IRC vs "service z" 1. IRC is not proprietary 2. IRC can be accessed using a client of your choosing 3. I like that it isn't logged. People may be more willing to allow their personality to be on display. 4. IRC permits private side-bands for private conversations. 5. My experience with IRC is when I need assistance with infrastructure issues the key person/people have been readily available. That may/may not translate to "service z". In addition, do we really need to permanently record "The CI server doesn't seem to be working." ? 6. IRC doesn't collect data about me. 7. Freenode could disappear tomorrow, and the community would not be impacted for long. -- Johnathan Mantey Senior Software Engineer *azad te**chnology partners* Contributing to Technology Innovation since 1992 Phone: (503) 712-6764 Email: johnathanx.mantey@intel.com <mailto:johnathanx.mantey@intel.com> [-- Attachment #1.1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1975 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: OpenPGP digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 488 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
