[Enhancement] evaluate gitter.im for a combined slack+irc alternative #22

Description

Currently, we need multiple accounts to communicate with the community (IRC+slack). Furthermore, Slack has some "flaws" when it comes to open communities. I just had a short look at gitter.im, which seems to offer a nice package as listed below:

clients for win/mac/linux
integration in github
logins without special registration, but github/gitlab/bitbucket
embedable chat for websites
irc bridge

Criteria

evaluate if it may work for us
test if integration options for the below list are exiting
- notify github events (new ticket, pull request)
- notify for twitter messages
- notify for ghost blog messages
- irc bridge to another network
private channels
voice/audio chat
markdown in chat
overall experience

Gitter is out. Instead, I have added matrix channels. In the future, we can also think about a dedicated instance under the while-true-do.io domain.

Channels as below:

space: #whiletruedoio:matrix.org
channel: #whiletruedoio-community:matrix.org
channel: #whiletruedoio-development:matrix.org
channel: #whiletruedoio-infrastructure:matrix.org
channel: #whiletruedoio-random:matrix.org

I will document the same accordingly and remove the slack space afterwards.

channels done and published via .github repository.
