A Day of Communication at GitHub
- pchm 13y agoTeam looks like a pretty awesome tool. Do you guys have any plans to release it publicly at some point?
- holman 13y agoNope. We'd be open to, but there's not too much motivation to do so at the moment, to be honest. Just one of those things where most people are focused on other areas of the company right now.
- wise_young_man 13y agoI was pretty excited when I first saw it on Dribbble and wanted to build an open source clone when I got time. I still need to get on that. http://dribbble.com/shots/279956-What-s-up http://dribbble.com/shots/279956-What-s-up
- joshuahornby 13y agoI am currently building something very similar to this, I'd love to chat to get a feel of what people want. Send me an email hello@joshhornby.co.uk
- enra 13y agoWe've been working on the high-level (not-email) communication with https://sendtoinc.com https://sendtoinc.com
- BryanB55 13y agoIsn't team pretty much the same as SalesForce's Chatter? https://www.salesforce.com/chatter/ https://www.salesforce.com/chatter/
- smileysteve 13y agoChat is definitely a great way to reduce meetings. It's also good at backgrounding JIT conversations. If my mind is on something I can not have to think of an answer immediately. If the question is simple, it may not take much thought or distraction.
- schwuk 13y ago"Team" would seem to be mirroring what Automattic have done with WordPress + P2: http://ma.tt/2009/05/how-p2-changed-automattic/ http://ma.tt/2009/05/how-p2-changed-automattic/
- petemill 13y agoAmazing summary and inspirational - thanks. Do you allow groups to create private chat rooms that are invite-only? Having that debate at the moment in our team.
- evolve2k 13y agoDon't remember the link but one of their articles taught talked on chat vs email was the benefit o retaining organizational knowledge, staff can go and be staff come and you can still join the same chat group for a topic and get up to speed. I think then that their intention is to have most chats open and people can break out new groups when a bunch of discussion starts to be of topic, implying it needs a topic of its own.
- bnferguson 13y agoChat is completely open, anyone can join any room and anyone can see the full history of that room. This isn't just development, even Legal and HR have rooms. If you need to have something that exists as institutional knowledge Issues is a good way to go, but we try to hook Chat convos into Issues. Hubot is setup to post comments in an Issue when someone posts a link to an Issue in Chat. Great for looping that synchronous convo into the async stuff. If you need to be more private, in person, email, or Bluejeans is the way to go.
- berrywater 13y agoWhat campfire client is that?
- ehPReth 13y agoAlt text on the first image says it's a custom campfire client
- jey 13y agoWow. Running a company primarily on Chat and Team makes too much sense. I'm going to steal these ideas.
- ksec 13y agoI wish Team would be released as a services or at a cost for self installation.
- NDizzle 13y agoTeam sounds a lot like what yammer was at one point.
- IanV 13y agoTeam looks to me the same as Yammer is now, and from Zack's post "high-level communication in the company" is exactly what Yammer is about (were just trying Yammer out ourselves, ad well as slack, which rocks!)
- doff 13y agoWe've been using Slack, which seems like maybe it's a cross between Team & chat. And I can't imagine life without it. So useful. I get close to zero emails from anyone I work with.
- troyk 13y agodo you have a link to Slack? Doesn't seem to ring any bells https://github.com/search?q=slack https://github.com/search?q=slack
- konspence 13y agohttp://slack.com http://slack.com
- nrbafna 13y agoIt seems more like Chat than Team.
- pcx 13y agoI can't recommend Slack more. It has an amazing web-app, works perfectly and the basic plan has no limit on users. I've tried both HipChat and Campfire, and I always felt that they were never the primary focus of the companies that own them.
