bravo-kernel: its a mysql database, with a cake app in front. the cake app is public |

we just need to get a better history app :dancer: |

Jun 27th 2017, 09:20 |

@stefanvangastel yeah thats a good reason to use mattermost |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:20 |
bravo-kernel |
:thumbsup: @dakota, slack is good usability |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:20 |
savant |
but slack won out for a variety of reasons, both good and bad |
| # |

Fyi: We use Mattermost because its an offline on-premise tool that ships with Gitlab :) |

there were other alternatives - like rocketchat, a better irc interface, etc. |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:19 |
hmic |
like i said, i do not want a discussion of the topic (again). |

biggest advantage of slack for me is that I can have cakephp slack, work slack, South african developer slack, etc. all in a single application with no need to worry about maintaining servers, etc. |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:19 |
savant |
so we wanted to pick something with mindshare |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:19 |
savant |
we’d wager many startups - at least in the us - are doing the same |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:19 |
savant |
most use irc or slack, and its heavily towards slack |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:19 |
savant |
none of the core team uses mattermost at work |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:19 |
savant |
that was another thing |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:18 |
savant |
at least with slack they are making money on those of us that use slack at work |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:18 |
savant |
since its running on much lower margins |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:18 |
bravo-kernel |
@hmic exactly... keep in control of the content :white_check_mark: |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:18 |
savant |
in fact, I’d say its in bigger danger of that |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:18 |
bravo-kernel |
and would rather prefer to have access to the irc datasource ;) |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:18 |
savant |
nothing is stopping mattermost from failing as a business, or raising it’s rates |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
bravo-kernel |
I have offered helping out with the sysop part in the past, |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
savant |
also, you end up having the same business model problem as slack |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
savant |
but I’d rather our money go to something else, like the cakephp conference, or ice cream |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
savant |
its relatively cheap, so thats good |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
savant |
or we pay for the serivce |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
savant |
we’d either need to self-host (boo, we dont have time) |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:17 |
savant |
hmic: there are a few problems with mattermost |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:16 |
bravo-kernel |
the good thing about cake-irc is that is has always been there and content is in own management |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:16 |
savant |
if you want to write a slack bot that imports all the things, cool |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:16 |
hmic |
bravo-kernel: if you want that, you need to switch to mattermost and not use slack. - it can import slack history even! |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:15 |
bravo-kernel |
besides the fact that it has been unavailable many times it lacks the power of cake irc IMO, full control, ownership |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:14 |
bravo-kernel |
actually I have looked at that too |

have visualized that for years. Pimp the irc logs, then point everybody to there, no point in re-typing all those answers |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:13 |

meh |

embeds dont get sent to irc |

I think it would be awesome to create a crud-api providing the IRC content, then add some snappy frontend |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 09:11 |
bravo-kernel |
the content is priceless, no doubt |
