Thoughts and opinions about gitter integration

[damiel]

Hello everybody,

today i would like to gather thoughts, ideas and opinions about the integration of gitter into our community.

These days i find it hard to connect with everybody involved in OTE and people that are interested in using and contributing to OTE and i feel gitter could make this easier. Gitter offers a tight integration with Github which makes is very accessible for everyone involved, all you really need is just a Github account and thats it.

Right now i am reviewing what else gitter offers us and how to set it up. I would happily take care of its integration and provide a easy to use badge in our README file, to make it easy to join for interested people.

seems like a good idea, I'm up for it

I created a gitter community and added a channel to it for our OpenTechBFG repository and also added a badge to our README so interested people can access it more easily. Lets see how it goes, if we decide we dont like it we can always remove it.
