We'll still work in Campfire though. We have an infrastructure room where we get all of our notices and systems-level logging piped to, and all of our on-call sysops can get together and deal with stuff immediately when it's necessary.
But it's still async... from the perspective of others. I'm not typically deep into the systems-level maintainability on GitHub, but I can check the transcript during or after the downtime happened and can figure out what happened, how the discussion around it went, and how it was dealt with.
- billpaetzke 15y agoAt my job, chat (via IM client) is urgent and email is (a little) less urgent. This makes a lot of sense to me. If I want to not bother someone, I'll send them an email. If I want to bother someone, I'll IM them. Is there something special about Campfire that makes it non-urgent?
- mseebach 15y agoBoth IM and email is private. Chatrooms are public.
- rahoulb 15y agoWhat I like about Campfire is looking back through the transcript is easy - even for the times when you have left the room. Plus it has the ability to star parts of the conversation so you can see the important points as you scroll through. So you can use it as a synchronous "have a chat now" tool - or as an asynchronous "leave a message and I'll deal with it when I return" tool at the same time.

- joshaber 15y agoWe have a bunch of topic- or project-specific rooms, one room for animated gifs and pictures of cats, and one room for serious business stuff. Pretty much everybody hangs out in the cat picture room and serious room. The rest are just people interested in that topic.
