Create Slack workspace for Athena++

[felker]

Would anyone be interested / would try Slack as a platform for discussion of Athena++ development? Issues and pull requests on the GitHub repository would still be the main forum to discuss development details, but Slack could be a useful centralized place to share early results, ask general questions, and learn what others are working on and developing.

I think it would be much better than point-to-point email discussions for many topics. The Free Slack plan stores 10,000 messages of searchable history. Those who already use Slack (which I suspect is many of you) know that it is a very simple but flexible chat platform. You can easily attach plots, files, and inline code in your messages.

I have a private workspace setup under athena-pp.slack.com that I have been using to monitor the commit activity and test results of my forked repository, but this content is in a separate channel. The workspace could be easily extended to serve a more general role.

I'm interested.

I have configured the workspace such that anyone with a @princeton.edu email can join automatically at https://join.slack.com/t/athena-pp/signup. Otherwise, you can send me your email address (kfelker@math.princeton.edu) and I will send you an invite.

I setup a few channels to compartmentalize the initial discussions of feature branches and other topics, e.g. #particles, #radiation, #performance, but we can add or remove these as needed. It is probably best to use the default#general channel to start (please ignore the commit and Travis CI testing history, which was moved to a separate channel).

Hi Kyle, Although I still have a princeton email account, it is easier to use my UNLV account. My UNLV account is zhaohuan.zhu@unlv.edu <mailto:zhaohuan.zhu@unlv.edu> Thanks, Zhaohuan ----------------------------- Zhaohuan Zhu Assistant Professor, Physics & Astronomy University of Nevada - Las Vegas Email: zhzhu@physics.unlv.edu Homepage: www.physics.unlv.edu/~zhzhu

Hi Kyle, Thanks for setting this u! My slack account name is ecostriker. I’m not completely sure which email I used to set it up (and I’d like to be consistent with my other projects) so if you can add me via username that’s best. Thanks! Eve

@ecostriker, as far as I am aware, there is no such thing as a centralized Slack account--- your usernames/profiles for each workspace are completely independent. I don't think I can look up your account for other Slack workspaces, so let me know which email address you prefer to receive the invite

[ecostriker]

Okay, I figured out that I am eco@astro.princeton.edu <mailto:eco@astro.princeton.edu>, so please add me as that to athena-pp. I am able to switch from one workspace to another within slack, although I bet you’re right that it keeps track of what I’ve logged into and my identity may be different (even if I entered the same profile info).

I will close this issue now that the Slack workspace is set up.
