[Chapter-delegates] Chat tools for chapters

[Hirotaka Nakajima]

Hi,

Thank you so much for the feedbacks!

> Christian,
We also have Mailman mailing-lists for chapter-wide, committees.

XMPP, that is one possibility.
People in UK chapter actively are using XMPP?

> NGNOULAYE,

Hangouts is also useful.
We use WebEx for remote participation for officers and committee meetings.

Best,
Hiro
