I’ve heard WCUS, WCEU, and WCAsia have separate SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/ groups rather than using channels within the main .org group. Let’s move everything over. I think this was done because there was too much friction in making new channels? Totally fine to create public channels for big events and private ones for planning, etc. Let’s deputize a dozen people to be able to spin up channels or admin them.

Great community connector as well, bringing everyone together in one place, like a big Discord server. The incredible gift/sponsorship from Salesforce is a single shared Slack channel for real-time collaboration, which makes the most sense when we’re all in the same place. Let’s leverage it more!

We already have #wcasia #wceu #wcus channels, but there should be many sub-channels, and let’s promote them more heavily at WordCamps to help people stay connected and get involved.

Related: I’m very open to Watercooler or more social channels on Slack as well. We should have some fun there as well as work together. It’s an incredible way to get involved with the WP community. It’s crazy how few channels we have. 🙂 To kick it off I made #selfpromotion, #dogs, #cats, #today-i-learned, #games, and #texas, and one serious one: #primitives.
