JupyterHub chat channels: Gitter or Zulip?

[manics]

A while ago there was a Jupyter discussion on moving away from Gitter to Zulip or Discord. After a pause there's a new spurt of activity around Zulip:
jupyter/governance#182 (comment) and subsequent posts.

What do people think? Switch to Zulip, stick with Gitter, or wait and see? I don't think we should support multiple chat platforms.

Zulip seems to be where folks are going. It would be nice to move away from the gitter spam.

+1 from me on Zulip. I'm more familiar with discord but I know the nepari folks have used Zulip for a while and really like it.

To clarify: is the plan to use the jupyter Zulip and create a channel or something? Or to set up a dedicated hub team Zulip? I think I have a preference for the former in order to encourage more cross project communication, but if folks feel strongly about the latter then I'm ok with that

I would imagine channel/room(s) in the Jupyter Zulip

Yeah, using gitter was always a big barrier for me, that got worse when it officially became a matrix instance. I'll go wherever, so long as it's away from gitter 😆

This is what makes more sense to me.

Try out the #jupyterhub zulip channel!

I've asked on the Jupyter Zulip instance, and they've created a #jupyterhub channel for us to try out. We don't have to treat this as a "decision" but I thought it'd be helpful to create something so that people could get a feel for what the workflow would look like.
