Hello everyone.

DNS OARC is pleased to announce that our new community chat server is open for 
access, augmenting the mailing lists we operate.

For many years, OARC has been operating a Jabber service which has been 
available to OARC Members.  We are replacing that service with a more modern 
chat platform using Mattermost.  OARC’s chat service is available for open 
signup at <https://chat.dns-oarc.net/>.

Anyone wishing to sign up and use the platform for discussion of the DNS is 
welcome to do so.  Please be reminded that all use of OARC services is subject 
to OARC’s Code of Conduct Policy, available at 
<https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/policies/conduct>.

Mattermost is open source software, and has open source clients available for 
all major desktop and mobile platforms.  Information on Mattermost client 
software is available at <https://mattermost.com/download/#mattermostApps>.

Mattermost makes a number of Teams available on a chat server.  In OARC’s case, 
we have the Members and Community teams available for use.  Anyone in the DNS 
community is welcome to join our Community team and use it for discussion of 
the DNS.

The Members team is open to all OARC Member and Supporter contacts.  
Non-members who would like access to that team are welcome to contact 
[email protected] for information about how to become a member.

Users of the chat service are welcome to create any public or private channels 
they find useful for discussing DNS community issues, on either the Community 
or Members teams.  OARC will be monitoring team creation and activity levels in 
order to watch for abuse and do basic house keeping, but otherwise have no 
plans to monitor channel content.  If participants witness any behaviour they 
feel is in violation of OARC’s code of conduct, we ask that it be brought to 
our attention.

If anyone has any questions about the chat service, please feel free to email 
us at [email protected], or find us on Mattermost.  We hope everyone finds 
this service useful for communicating with the rest of the DNS community.
