This seems more like a splinter/ elitist QGIS forum being formed here. Sorry if my observations are wrong but what are the aims of this new group which are different from the current group? Is it still affiliated to GISSAý? </div>

<div>Hi
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For those wanting to join the gitter QGIS chat room, you can go here:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://gitter.im/qgis/QGIS" class="">https://gitter.im/qgis/QGIS</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You can also install the gitter desktop and mobile apps if you want to - visit the gitter home page for details.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If there is interest I could set up an osgeo africa one (sorry to usurp your Slack promulgation Jeff haha :-) ). The reason I don't like slack is that their subscription fees are terribly expensive - or at the least pretty confusing… <a href="https://slack.com/pricing" class="">https://slack.com/pricing</a>
whereas gitter is linked right into github which is nice and is free for public repos).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Regards</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

Hi everybody,<br class="">
<br class="">
This list has been really quiet lately… I’m wondering why? Is it<br class="">
because<br class="">
email is so last-century and we all moved over to Slack? If so,<br class="">
how do I<br class="">
join? If not, isn’t it time to set up a Team or a channel on a<br class="">
team like<br class="">
ZA Tech?<br class="">
