[OSGeo-UK] Fwd: Notice of Slack’s new content deletion policy for free workspaces

[Al Graham]

Personally I would say that it should be deleted, unless anyone has a
strong desire to keep it. If we didn't know about it I guess it hasn't been
used much. The only reason to keep it would be if someone was willing to
put in the effort to grow a community there. I agree with Matt that the
foss4guk slack can also be deleted.
