Re: [iot-wg] Eclipse IoT instant messaging survey

[Alois Zoitl <alois.zoitl@xxxxxx>]

Hi Frédéric,

maybe it is also that the availability of the Matermost platform is not advertised as much as it could be.

please find my answers below.

BR,
Alois

=====

1. Do you think the Eclipse IoT community should start using an instant messaging platform?
Not sure if more communication channels are the helping



2. Which instant messaging platforms should we consider? Why?
Mattermost (it is open source, Cern just migrated to it)


3. How should we leverage an eventual instant messaging platform? For example, should we create channels for our projects? Should non-members be able to access
it or not?

see answer 1
