chat.coreboot.org is on

[Patrick Georgi]

Hi all,

we've set up a mattermost instance on https://chat.coreboot.org/ in the 
hope to lower the barriers to entry into our community.

It comes with a bridge to IRC, history (but not web-indexable, which was 
a major concern with IRC logs so far) and the ability to start topic 
channels that are discoverable yet separate from the main discussion.

See you there,
Patrick

That's a wise decision.

If you'd ask me I would also think about creating a coreboot-forum. It
would make certain diskussions more clear than the mailing list,
especially if they last longer than a few days.

Hello Patrick,

If you allow me, the (much) better decision will be to organize web
forum/web domain http://www.coreboot.forum.com. Something lookalike:
http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/

There are many advantages why to do this. I'll spell out few. Much higher
visibility. Much more professional approach.

Zoran
