Fwd: We now have a presence on Mattermost

[Alan Pope]

Further to my previous mail (below)..

I just upgraded the demo mattermost install to the latest 2.1.0 stable
release and added the matterircd.

So you can now connect to the demo mattermost server by pointing your
irc client at:-

mattermost.popey.com/6667  or 6697 (for tls [self signed cert]).

Once connected from xchat / irssi or whatever, you can:-

/msg mattermost login <username> <password>

Once connected, each channel is just like an irc channel, as you'd
expect. It works really nicely. Here's a screenshot where I typed one
message in the browser, and the other in my irc client.

Again, this is very much just a playpen, it could die any time,
feedback welcome.

Cheers,
Al.

Since Jorge created an evil non-free Slack instance I felt compelled
to set-up a unicorn filled Mattermost instance. ;)

Just kidding, we're doing this to evaluate all the options, and we
wanted to make sure the FLOSS ones we covered as well as the hipster
Web 3.0 proprietary ones.

This is running on a small digital ocean droplet and isn't intended to
be permanent (hence the use of my personal domain name). No guarantees
of availability etc. It's not a central communication tool for the
Ubuntu community, but just a test / playground.

Feel free to join and test it out.

Cheers,
