Hi all. What is the general plan regarding migrating to "fossi-chat"? I signed up just now and don't see a lot of activity on it (only 2 channels created), see below. Is this going to be the new OS discussion platform? If so, will there be a definite date whereby everyone must have moved across by? @Leo Moser: Are you the owner of this effort? Thanks.

@Diarmuid Collins as far as i know, the Efabless paid accounts of Slack will expire in April. After this date all accounts will revert to free accounts with limited history and search ability. This is the reason for migrating to element fossi-chat.

@Diarmuid Collins, right now I'm hosting FOSSi Chat, but we plan to transfer ownership to the FOSSi Foundation. These are the initial rooms that everyone joins upon sign-up. You need to search for public rooms to be able to join to join e.g. magic xschem etc.

@Diarmuid Collins in the screen that you showed, click in the search box. A menu will appear and you can select "public room". It will show you all rooms with "announcements" and "general" having the "view"! buttons checked and all the others having it cleared. Click on the button for "analog-design", for example, and you will be back at the screen you showed but you will now see three rooms. You can repeat the whole awkward process to add even more rooms to your list

In case anyone is wondering, this is not something I figured out myself. I saw some comment about it in the "general" room
