#OpenScience people do you have favoured alternative to #slack for lab internal communication and information sharing? Or is that the wrong question and email works fine?

never really adopted slack. Used it a bit for
@SoftwareSaved fellows network, so it's not like I didn't see the fun/utility. Depends how 'digital' ones lab is (e.g. does PI like it) and even then, whether slack is just too much of a distraction in the end(?)2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
We have slack for 2 main reasons IMHO: easier to keep convos going and inclusive (no needs to remember to reply-all or feel like you are writing to the mailing list just to say "wanna go for lunch?"; and we do not all sit in the same room so it facilitates sharing info in RT.

I concur. We do use Slack quite a bit in the lab, but also outside to manage wider projects. I'm a PI and I'm on board ;) Anything that saves me having to manually sanitise yet another reply-all list.

Is anyone concerned about the closed-source nature of slack? Seems like there are alternatives.. https://opensource.com/alternatives/slack …

Replying to @czzpr @froggleston and
I'm concerned. You can use
@gitchat as a alternative to Slack. Or@RiotChat. But at the end you will end with too many Slack/Gitter/@matrixdotorg groups instead of mailing list.2 replies 2 retweets 3 likes -
