You forgot to mention your slack: chat.cloud.gov, where people can come ask questions, right?

https://chat.18f.gov/?channel=devops-public, actually. EDIT: Gaaah, sorry, down right now for reasons. Will post here again when it's back up. Sorry!

I think that Slack being down is related to this:

Watchdog: 18F's Slack security exposed GSA data https://fcw.com/articles/2016/05/13/slack-security-18f.aspx

It was enough of a problem that the reaction was to probably take it down and take a hard look at everything before being it back up. Maybe a hosted rocket.chat will be the replacement to allow them more granular control over security.

Seems like the Slack invite app is not deployed to cloud.gov right now.

It's down for some internal IT reasons, but should be back up at some point soon (but not this weekend).

Since whole platform is open source, I wonder why Slack? Why not Mattermost[1]?
