<br>
I setup and manage Mailman for the chapter. We have two community lists<br>
currently. One for universities and the other for policy. Where an<br>
archive is helpful this is the main service we use.<br>
<br>
We have chapter email service with a contacts address and each team<br>
member is given and able to have a chapter email address.<br>
<br>
Each email address also supports a Jabber account. As I include Jabber<br>
(XMPP) server in the chapter hosting service. But this is not being used<br>
very much as chapter email accounts are largely used to forward mail to<br>
a users own email service.<br>
<br>
Each member and community tends to decide what they want to do to keep<br>
in touch. Tools I've seen being used include WhatsApp, Signal, Wire,<br>
Skype, Zoom and Livestream.<br>
<br>
Some of the more technical communities we rub shoulders with use IRC and<br>
or Jabber extensively.<br>
<br>
Web chat such as Slack, Plivo and use of chat bots are not being used<br>
widely for chapter communications as far as I know. I do use them myself<br>
to keep in touch with various developer and business communities. But<br>
these can be rather disjointed and I think they have other pitfalls such<br>
as encouraging noise to signal problems and are often rather unstable.<br>
