 infinisil | * Is this not configurable? The file says default_settings 🤔 | 19:20:08 |
| * infinisil is researching | 19:20:19 |
 K900 | It's configurable per deployment | 19:20:24 |
| K900 | But I don't think it's configurable on the SaaS | 19:20:31 |
| infinisil | edef: Oh can you look at your zulip instance (since you're an admin there) | 19:20:36 |
| infinisil | Oh nice | 19:20:38 |
 edef | funnily enough i didn't create anywhere near 100 invites | 19:20:38 |
| infinisil | Ah damn | 19:20:42 |
| edef | more like 3-5 | 19:20:58 |
| edef | the ones to @edef.eu all worked, so maybe it's scrutinising the email domain | 19:21:11 |
 @zimbatm:numtide.com | Party popper: we have Discourse that works. The goal is to have thoughtful conversations, not chat.
All we have to do is disable signups for the duration , and apply the same CoC | 19:21:23 |
| @zimbatm:numtide.com | And have the mods aggressively split threads | 19:21:56 |
| 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 |

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 |
