Ok so look, Slack took over the world. And it turns out it’s
pretty good and useful. Let’s have an official OSM slack.

<div class="">I’ve found two OSM-related slacks. Someone owns <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://openstreetmap.slack.com"
class="">openstreetmap.slack.com</a> and there is also <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://osmus-slack.herokuapp.com"
class="">osmus-slack.herokuapp.com</a> as a front door to the
US slack. The former I can’t find a lot about. The latter is
mentioned here:</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And it has a neat thing to throw out invites to
people. There’s also a neat bot that it looks like tmcw wrote:</div>

<div class="">I’m proposing that a) we have a global slack and b)
it be ‘official’ whatever that means. Having not been able to
find this, I invite everyone over to:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://awesomestreetmap.slack.com" class="">https://awesomestreetmap.slack.com</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So unless there is a secret slack somewhere that I
missed, or something, I need help:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">* Come join this slack, send me an email for an
invite</div>
<div class="">* Can someone please add the osmbot to this slack?</div>
<div class="">* Can someone please make the magic “send me an
invite thing” for this slack?</div>
<div class="">* Please help edit <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slack" class="">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slack</a> and
also make slack a prominent part of other methods of
communication</div>
<div class="">* Please announce this on your favorite existing
mailing list, forum or IRC channel</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I realize that I’m inviting a discussion about how
slack is an evil company or that we should all just use IRC, and
those are fine arguments I don’t have the energy for.</div>
