Thanks everyone who has pointed out that to some extent this discussion
is a bikeshed
FYI, my questions are not about what service you picked. I'm interested
in how the decision was made. I would also think it interesting to see
the cost/benefit matrix for the various options, including the security
considerations. Surely that's not new work, as Ondřej suggested?
I'm particularly interested in what elements are available for the new
platform that were not available for jabber.
I'll be the first to admin that OARC's systems engineering resources are
over-stretched, and that's why we took the decision to outsource this
service, which has successfully given us one less arcane thing to
manage. The out-sourcing agreement is with Mythic Beasts, a UK-based
cloud provider who offer managed Mattermost to other customers. As part
of the service agreement, Mythic signed up as OARC Supporters, which
binds them and the service to the same collective confidentiality terms
as OARC Members are bound by.
Thank you for providing those details.
Doug
