This is great! I'm continuously nonplussed by deployment systems which require bootstrapping a master to bootstrap the system. Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Rancher, Project FIFO, etc all require setting up hosts machines, designating some coordinator node(s), and then turning on the system. Working a lot in IoT fields, or even with onsite deployments of services, this pattern becomes a blocker. It's more difficult than traditional "setup a server, turn it on, install software" approach, especially for small deployments. There's a lot of need (IMHO) for various orchestration systems which are self-boostrapping and fully P2P for smaller teams deploying on clouds, IoT devices in a given locale, research labs etc. I've been watching your work for a while, and it's great you're moving toward usable systems! Is there a good place to watch your work and/or engage with the community? I'm starting work on some new IoT devices, and while this won't be directly applicable I'd like to play around with some of the core ideas.

We have a Slack, so you can reach out to me on Twitter at @cmeik and I'll be happy to invite you. We have several almost-production users we have been fixing bugs and the Lasp slack is the place to go to get more information about what we are doing and how you can influence our future direction.

  That said, I haven't been able to figure out how to make a Slack that isn't invite only.

    You can't, as far as I know. You can do this, though: https://www.skill-space.com/blog/2015/11/16/create-an-auto-invite-channel-using-slack-heroku1 https://www.skill-space.com/blog/2015/11/16/create-an-auto-i...

      Seconding this. Both Elixir and Erlang (https://erlang-slack.herokuapp.com/ https://erlang-slack.herokuapp.com/) use one for their slack channel, and it works great.

  That'd be great! I'll have to digup a dusty twitter account. I may be more of a lurker for now, but seeing how Lasp is shaping up would be pretty valuable. A public slack would be nice. It seemed like LASP might be dead for a while when looking at some of the project pages a few months ago. Understandable when you're focused on solving hard problems, but an FYI from an outside perspective. This talk is really helpful in seeing what you've learned and where it's going. Thanks again!

    How do you suggest we move forward? We tried slack, but being invitation only prohibited us for making a big impact. What's the right way to build an open community? What do you recommend?

      Another option is gitter.im, which links to your github project and doesn't have to be invite only.
