Hi Dev

Returning to a very interesting topic, I share with you the open source tool used officially by the ietf, since it is open source where all the workgroups are and that visually is similar to slack in all its functions.

https://github.com/ietf-tools/service-plans/blob/main/zulip-service-plan.md

compared to discord or ms teams it is more simplified but with the necessary tools and above all it avoids creating whatsapp groups since the point of whatsapp is to avoid sharing personal numbers.

tools like loomio were interesting to use some years ago, now the cost is quite prohibitive. some time ago a test was made with ryver but everybody abandoned it.

Additionally, it has an option to request the standard plan at no cost to non-profit organizations which allows a growth in the use of the tool over time.

https://zulip.com/plans/#cloud

"Free Standard plan eligibility

Open-source projects
Research in an academic setting
Academic conferences and other non-profit events
Most small non-profit organizations
Most communities when the Free plan is not an option"

best regards

So, do we switch to Teams (and will it work for the At-Large Community?) Or another group chat solution ?

"It’s the end of an era. Microsoft is shutting down Skype in May and replacing it with the free version of Microsoft Teams for consumers. Existing Skype users will be able to log in to the Microsoft Teams app and have their message history, group chats, and contacts all automatically available without having to create another account, or they can choose to export their data instead. Microsoft is also phasing out support for calling domestic or international numbers."
