End of test, time to shutdown mattermost, was: We now have a presence on Mattermost

[Alan Pope]

Hello all!

I left this test/playground mattermost instance up for 6 months, and
after a flurry of people poking at it and playing with it, I don't
think there's any value in leaving it up, as nobody is using it (as
far as I can tell). So at the end of the week I'll shut it down and
delete the server it sat on. All data will be (intentionally) lost.

If in the future we desire a mattermost instance, it's pretty trivial
to spin up a new one.

It was a good learning exercise, thanks for those of you who poked and
prodded the box :)

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,
