The idea is for there to be a channel for each location in the slack (e.g. Oxford, Berkeley, etc.). I think that would be unwieldy as part of another slack.
Spitballing, I think it could be fine to have 1 channel with threads for each location pinned to the top where people could comment, or have 1 main channel that links to sub channels or something like this.
Yes, it’s possible that would be better (though I can see pros and cons to both approaches). I just saw a need and wanted to fill it, and the people I talked to about this idea beforehand seemed generally happy about it (none suggested this idea which I agree could work!).
That being said, I’m not attached to it. If you think this would be better and people on the slack seem to agree then I wouldn’t be opposed to shutting down the slack.
That makes sense I think. But if it proves too much to maintain a whole slack maybe a channel in another slack with threads for each city would be an intermediate option.
Would this not work better as a channel on another slack group like “global ea discussion”
