As mentioned, we're looking at moving the Fedora Council's main chat to
Matrix. And as part of that, we're considering a hosted Element server --
which obviously could go quite beyond just #fedora-council. Neal suggested a
video meeting to talk with interested people about this, and so I set up
this when-is-good

Anyone interested in a preliminary chat about all of this, please sign up
with your FAS id and availability. Nothing is sent in stone or decided
already, although I must say I'm pretty excited about Element's open source
software-as-a-service offering based on what I've heard from them so far.
There's quite a lot wrong here - a video meeting(!) to discuss
dropping a commonly used and well established channel of
communication. Well, I guess at least you didn't decide to use the
proprietary awfulness of Slack.
Couldn't you just talk about this on email?
Let me start off:
What's the reason why hosting your own server for a fairly uncommon
chat protocol is better than continuing to use IRC?
