tl;dr<\/strong> – I created a slack group, you can get an invite here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

I know we all dearly love our IRC channels; it’s our history, our culture, our misteps and foibles immortalized forever on codedojo<\/del> … wait… where did the quotes on Seth’s site go?
\n <\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway – IRC is oh so old, and I’m sure a lot of people will be annoyed at me for saying, not good enough any longer. This is why I created a Ludum Dare Slack!<\/p>\n

I know! I know! I’m a luddite too, I use vim, I occasionally use mutt, I like old<\/strong>. But, I also like new shiny features: inline images, GIFS(!), code<\/span> syntax<\/span> highlighting<\/span>, mobile clients, offline messages<\/strong>, pinned notifications, embedded YT videos and tweets, a friendly API, and other such wonders.<\/p>\n

We’re a v<\/span>i<\/span>s<\/span>u<\/span>a<\/span>l<\/span><\/strong> community, we need v<\/span>i<\/span>s<\/span>u<\/span>a<\/span>l<\/span><\/strong> communication<\/p>\n

Because we do still love IRC, I’ve even created a special #irc channel on Slack that echoes everything said in IRC to slack, so you’ll never miss a beat. It doesn’t message back to IRC yet (I didn’t want to piss anyone off in IRC) but it’s pretty easy to get that set up if we ever wanted it.<\/p>\n

Feel free to sign up<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n Get an invite here: http:\/\/ld-slack.herokuapp.com<\/a><\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> @Mike<\/span>, I’m happy to hand over ownership\/control to yourself or any other LD trustee at your request of course. Just trying to help the community out!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.P.S<\/strong> For the paranoid, the invite system does not do anything with your email address other than send you an invite to slack, this seems to be the only good (non-manual) way to do it. Code for the inviter is available here<\/a> for the still-paranoid<\/em><\/p>\n
