I'm scheduled to work night shift all three nights. I guess I'll try to get some in just before and just after.

Posting again to prove I'm not a spy because stupid synirc deletes your nic reg after too long, apparently.

Dumb

It also occurs to me that a non-negligible feature of Slack is that you could constantly make the main room topic be the current question (which you can do in IRC) but still have links to everything else (Google Docs, the thread, scores, radio stream) in the Channel Purpose.

I'm not sure how the "call successfully placed" bot would import to Slack, but having a separate #callers channel could probably make that work. As somebody who wasn't on call duty and will never make a call, I honestly couldn't care less about successfully placed/unsuccessfully placed calls as long as somebody gets it in by the buzzer, so missing out on that wouldn't be the end of the world. (You could probably make a bot to do this pretty easily; I just don't personally know how.)

We'd have close to a year to figure it out, after all.

Watching the calls be placed is like half the excitement

If someone reminds me closer to the time next year, I'll spin up an AWS instance and configure us a private silc (encrypted IRC) server.
This has the added advantage of those who know what they're doing being able to use it as a shell with screen / tmux so you don't drop off from the channel when you shut your computer down and your session is available from anywhere.

If we want to get really fancy we could also set up a voip server of some description, allowing people outside the US to be able to join the phone team...

I'd say we could also host the wiki there and lock it down to connections from localhost only, but the thought of tech supporting a pile of people through dynamic ssh port forwarding is already giving me an eye tic.

Any barrier to entry will cut the potential pool of goons. Gotta be minimally invasive. I used to be a technerdbro and I could probably still do a linux thing but its been loving ages and I doubt everyone is going to be able or willing to ssh into a secured PGP VPN hypersecure goonclave.

Google Calendar next April marked for taxes and trivia. Will be scheduling myself to not be at work too. Going to represent for night crew, best crew.

I just joined a slack thing for work and I highly advise against it.

IRC is better and is also part of the goon heritage.
