 edef | i think that probably slows the conversation a lot, and we chose Zulip as a compromise between velocity and thoughtfulness | 19:21:58 |
 danielle | there's so many recent accounts with cursed history too | 19:22:09 |
 lovesegfault | IMO Zulip is the right middle-ground between Discourse and IRC/Matrix/etc | 19:22:33 |
| edef | yeah, it does require reworking the moderation strategy also | 19:22:46 |
| edef | okay, all the zulip support links i can easily find are … enterprise phone support | 19:23:58 |
| danielle | tbf discourse could work with invite-only topics | 19:23:59 |
| danielle | that is technically a thing | 19:24:04 |
| danielle | we use them in the Swift project for steering committee's | 19:24:16 |
 @zimbatm:numtide.com | Ok but remember: we have 12 days left. I think we need to start with the application process tomorrow to give us enough time to collect and analyse all the candidates | 19:24:25 |
 7c6f434c | Observation: The applications are already being collected | 19:24:50 |
| edef | thank you for the framing there | 19:24:53 |
| danielle | but that means we inevitably end up with discourse+matrix | 19:25:00 |
| danielle | because... well... people | 19:25:07 |

Observation: The applications are already being collected Where? | 19:25:41 |
| danielle | In reply to @zimbatm:numtide.com
Where? github issue | 19:25:50 |
| edef | just to think through the outside options: a) we deal with the 100 people/day limit. some people get in a day late | 19:25:57 |
| danielle | In reply to @zimbatm:numtide.com
Where? https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/143 | 19:26:34 |
| @zimbatm:numtide.com | Ok, I missed some steps then | 19:26:20 |
| edef | b) we self-host a Zulip [this seems insane, but i do want to mention it] | 19:26:31 |
| danielle | there's only ~60 requests rn | 19:26:52 |
| edef | across discourse and github? | 19:27:03 |
| edef | in that case… let's get some invites out sooner rather than later | 19:27:14 |
 infinisil | I'll get in touch with Zulip chat support | 19:27:24 |
| edef | and we deal with some latency on invites going out | 19:27:29 |
| edef | thank you infinisil | 19:27:40 |
| edef | if we have space for extra requests, consider mentioning that we could use a custom invite email | 19:28:36 |
| edef | you miss all the shots you don't take | 19:28:50 |
| @zimbatm:numtide.com | Ok I meant applications to become part of the bootstrap council | 19:28:54 |
 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | infinisil: the signup post on discourse has a rather serious error; it references the contributor covenant, rather than the CoC for the governance zulip | 19:29:15 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | and this is causing confusion | 19:29:22 |
