btkostner commented 3 years ago

Right now both of those services are gone and no longer working with the new Slack API. We need to figure out a way to do this. @cassidyjames any thoughts?

What we used before: https://github.com/rauchg/slackin/issues/417 Possible alternative: https://github.com/outsideris/slack-invite-automation

DaneAU commented 3 years ago

Not sure if that possible alternate will work, seems to rely on legacy tokens. Will try and suggest one @btkostner

Will need to perhaps use the Oauth approach.

From https://github.com/elementary/website/pull/2730#discussion_r643539083 https://github.com/elementary/triage/issues/66 I bring comment to this from PR discussion due this issue track that problem

I noticed another issue on the same repository https://github.com/elementary/triage
https://github.com/elementary/triage/issues/60 (consider migrate to other platform similar matrix, element.io, rocketchat, mattermost)

I also interested for suggest to elementaryos team for move to opensource and privacy friendly solution similar matrix.org (clients element.io etc), zulip, mattermost or may be rocketchat

It'll be easy to setup matrix.org (+elementaryos:matrix.org in matrix homeserver) or zulip - no cost at all Or use rocketchat, mattermsot (you have to afford maintain cost)

@btkostner From what I understand, there's a problem with auth tokens.

However, can we direct the link to https://elementarycommunity.slack.com/ (and the equivalent for translators Slack)?

Those are static links that already work. And people can sign in from there.

btkostner commented 3 years ago

@dar5hak that's a good point. I'm going to set a reminder for myself to do that in a week. I'm right now talking with the people in our slack to see if there is any opposition to setting up a mattermost for those two communities. Hopefully I can get that done within the week.

What would be the static link for translator slack?

That was quick, thank you. Seems like it would be a no-timer to fix this on the website though : -)

I had a similar issue after coming across the Slack link on this page (source here) in the Contributor Guide. While the context where I came across the link was the Contributor Guide, the same link appears in a number of other places, and since there isn't a dedicated issue tracker for just the Slack, I figured elementary/website (i.e. this particular issue, which, generic as it is, seemed more applicable than this other issue) was the best place to mention this.

Anyway! The issue I'm having is that despite the link openly encouraging me to register for the Community Slack, the signup page seemingly requires registrants to have an @elementary.io or @elementaryos.org email address. There are options for authentication with Google or Apple, which I tried, but it gave me an extremely vague error message, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

If you legitimately want people to sign up for the Community Slack, could you try and make it so people can actually do so? Thanks!
