[TBI] Investigate cpplang Slack link

[uilianries]

During a presentation, someone informed that the Slack link is broken. I did not check yet, but to be investigated.

Hi! I am the person that raised that question.

I've got the other link that seems to work (https://cpplang.slack.com/archives/C41CWV9HA). However, it requires one to have a work account on Google, Apple or aurescapital.com in order to sign up. What if one has none of those? :)

Here's the screenshot of the page loaded from the conan README (Slack: https://cpplang-inviter.cppalliance.org/):

Btw, I tried to use the personal Google account there and it said "The email address must match one of the domains listed below. Please try another email."

Pinging @grafikrobot for feedback

If I go to https://cppalliance.org/slack/ and click on the "I need an invitation to the C++ Slack workspace." link I see..

If I then select "Continue with Email" I get..

Filling it in with my acm.org email, and pressing the "Continue with Email" button I then see the code prompt..

What part of that are people having problems with? What do you see different?

You might want to try a "private" or "anonymous" browser window. Perhaps some tracking is leaking and forcing you to a different flow.

this page never loads for me: https://cpplang-inviter.cppalliance.org/ neither with private browser, nor with simple curl

Aha! This link: https://cppalliance.org/slack/ actually does have a link "I need an invitation to the C++ Slack workspace". With that, I managed to get an access to that Slack group with my work account. Thanks a ton @grafikrobot & @memsharded !
