The dev community supports several communication channels. Each mode serves a different purpose:
- The developer Google GroupOpenLMIS Discourse
- Discussions, questions and decisions on application design and behavior. As messages are kept forever, this is the place to record the how and why for future reference
- Discussions and decisions by the Tech Committee (as well as the other OpenLMIS Committees)
- Technical support questions
- Announcements, news, etc.
- Slack
- For messages that are transient/short-lived. Good for real-time discussion and project messaging. No guarantee messages are persisted forever.
- #dev is reserved for tool notifications. Humans shouldn't generally post here as it will get lost among automated notifications
- #general for most OpenLMIS messages
- #toolbox for tools and techniques relevant to the OpenLMIS' tech stack
- #random for non-project FYIs, relevant articles and links, etc.
- JIRA
- Issue tracking, project management, Epics, Stories, etc.
- Discussion on specific bugs, stories, etc. should use the Comment facility on the JIRA issues, NOT private emails.
- Email
- If an email thread veers to generating discussions/decisions that should be public per a healthy open source project, move it to a community forum.
