Use Slack Pro through the LFE

[So-Fras]

Please share any additional details on this topic

During a PowSyBl TSC, we came to the conclusion that we lost some information because of the limited Slack history we have with the free version of Slack.

We would also like to test the workflow automation that comes with the Pro version.

Detail what actions or feedback you would like from the TAC

Do other members would be interested?

Would it be possible to get the Slack Pro version through the LFE?

(Pricing is variable, depending on the number of active members and whether we add new members)

How much time do you need for this topic?

10 minutes or less

Thanks for sharing this @So-Fras.

Generally we've seen Slack Pro can be cost prohibitive, and we are hearing from members that using Slack is not a tool that aligns with their corporate standards. There are two options:

• We do have the EVerest community using Zulip - should perhaps we use this? /cc @RobertDeLeeuw
• Discourse is also popular amongst LF projects, and would provide both chat and forums.

Perhaps we could discuss this during the 12/10 TAC meeting?
