I’m not sure. I’d prefer slack, but even then I don’t have alerts enabled and the overlap with our time zones is a couple of hours in your evening my morning. 

That's cool, no obligation. Just be aware that it's available for you if you do want to do a casual or adhoc real-time chat with anyone. I won't normally be online on it during my working day either. Bart and I caught up briefly yesterday about the 2.4.6 deployment issues, it's useful to quickly shoot back-and-forth like that instead of sending heaps of e-mails. However, If anything significant gets discussed there, I'll be sure to summarize it back to this list and/or the issue tracker (as appropriate).

As for Slack: as much as I like it, I understand that Eclipse Foundation is reluctant to rely on proprietary platforms for its communication needs. Mattermost is pretty similar in functionality, it just has fewer plugins available, and of course it requires you to have another app (or browser tab) open. 

Cheers,

I don't know if any of you feel the need for this, but Eclipse hosts a Mattermost server (it's a Slack-like communication tool, main difference being that it's open-source). If we want, we can set up a channel on this server to use for more real-time communication between ourselves and also possibly for users. I see a niche for when we're online at the same time and want to do a quick chat/discussion without sending multiple e-mails.

I realize that previously we had an irc channel for the same purpose and nobody used it, but this might be easier to use than irc, has built-in logging and search.

Of course, it requires Yet Another Tool on your machine (although you can just it use via the web browser), so completely understand if you don't want this.

See https://mattermost.eclipse.org/ . I've set up an rdf4j channel, come join me if you wanna give it a try :)
