Future of Ubuntu Discourse?

[Seth Johnson]

There was a discussion in the ubuntu slack channel (ubuntu.slack.com) about
it. Jorge suggested we have a UOS session, I said I was willing to help
bring it back, Marco said he'd create a session. Apparently he hasn't yet..

Doesn't look like there are any sessions yet, actually (just checked). That
might be why. Hopefully it is still on the radar.
