Thanks so much for the background there! Agree with an awful lot of what you say there, the only proviso I have from our end is that we have 0 budget for that so we'd need to stick to the free version so permanence of messages could be an issue. But, having said that, I found out yesterday that an on-staff scientist had set up a Slack for our users already. He's not got any interest in it yet because it's not been advertised, but I reckon now I know about it I might chat to him when I'm back from leave about giving it a proper go. ...and yes, whoever thought up ITIL never had to deal with people who keep saying "can you install this software from git - just whatever is master at the moment please".. :-) cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: sam...@unimelb.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
