In-team communication
Tasks people need to do go in GitLab, but that is not how tasks should be communicated. Whenever possible, anything important enough to be assigned is worth talking about in 'real-time' first, or concomitantly. Everything needed to understand an issue should be captured in GitLab, but we want to avoid back-and-forth 'huh what?' and 'nuh-uh not me' (un-assign)
Discussion that takes place outside of GitLab needs to be summarized (or copy-pasted) into the relevant issue in the GitLab project.
Zulip
Our primary tool for internal communication is now Zulip, free software group chat software available as LibreSaaS.
agaric.zulipchat.com is the web interface.
Downloading an application is recommended.
IRC
#agaric
Agaric also maintains a channel for worker-owners only.
Freenode has given us operator privileges for this channel. To use it, we need to register:
/msg nickserv identify mlncn pa55w0rd
/chanserv op #agaric mlncn
Try to get important meetings on your Agaric calendar.
Some of our best clients are also on IRC, as are our partners at May First Movement Technology (#mayfirst on irc.indymedia.org).
