    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez Is it your workspace or kotlinlang's workspace?

    apparently you can't upgrade your account, only the whole workspace

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez shared a file:

    and commented: People start messaging me that they can’t post images/snippets. I have no idea what to do, there is no bulk delete button to delete e.g. files older than 1 year.

    JetBrains tried to talk to Slack several times about receiving a discount or a data dump for the open-source community, but Slack blew them off

    Haha, same way as JetBrains blow off many developers for their IDE licenses 😉

    We're thinking about rocking the boat and collectively spamming Slack to start supporting open-source communities. If you think about it, it's a good business solution - give open source a discount, and you'll generate more business when you have users bringing Slack back to their businesses

    That's a fair point. That might be a bit different when talking about a whole community using a single product, as opposed to one person per product

    Slack is just too expensive for small organizations. I agree!

    Are Gitter or Discord any more responsive to OSS projects?
  • a

    I guess Gitter is an opensource tool. You can host it on your own servers, unlike slack.

    Although, switching to a new messaging service would be a great deal of task for Jetbrains.

    @abhinay you think Jebrains is hurting for resources?

    of course they could simply start paying -- it isn't like kotlin isn't generating revenue for them even though it is OSS itself.

    Not sure on how much revenue kotlin is generating for them. It is just a matter of who breaks first - Jetbrains can pay and Slack can offer discounts for OSS projects.

    Probably not much, Kotlin is open source after all

    Right, but they've refused to help with IDE support in any environment other than Jetbrains products

    so.... with the adoption of Kotlin by Android, I'm guessing IDEA subscriptions have increased significantly
