👪️ We use Mattermost to organize ourselves, at https://chat.kanthaus.online/

Creating a personal account

You can get an account by following this link.

Channels

Our main channel is #kanthaus. Many channels we use have been historically prefixed by #kanthaus- because they were in a Slack instance shared with other people.

Some of those channels are private, because they contain private or sensitive information. Those are reserved to Volunteers and Members.

Known issues

This lists the issues we have encountered when using Mattermost:

No email integration. We have built the MailMirror plugin for that, which could still be improved in many ways
No support for reminders of events (for instance stored in an ICS file)
Not possible to fully rename the "Town Square" channel (the id will stay `~town-square`)
