👋 Hey <!channel>! We’ve just done some housekeeping in Slack to clean things up a bit and help focus channel topics. The big one is renaming this channel to #announcements and limiting who can post in it. This is a pattern many other slack groups have followed and I think it makes sense for the Meltano community as well. I also want to highlight a few changes to other channels here as well, but of course we have an issue you can peruse as well 😄 For Meltano related channels, we’ve gone with a no prefix strategy. This means channels like #docker #windows #kubernetes #development #contributing #troubleshooting #best-practices etc will be mainly about those topics in the context of meltano. For the plugins and tools that Meltano integrates with, we’re using a prefix strategy. The big one, given our currently focus, is singer. Right now we have the following Singer-specific channels: • #singer-taps - A new channel for general discussion of Taps • #singer-targets - A new channel for general discussion of Targets • #singer-saas-targets - Renaming of a channel for SaaS API Singer Targets • #singer-sdk - Renaming of a channel for discussion of the SDK • #singerhub - For discussion about the upcoming SingerHub • #singer-batch-messages - For discussion of a proposed BATCH message extension We’ll follow a similar pattern in the future as the product grows and expands. For now we have a catchall #plugins-general channel for discussion of all other plugins like Dagster, Great Expectations, etc. We have made #plugins-dbt though for specific discussion of dbt as a plugin. We can see how these plugin channels go and continue to iterate on the strategy here if the community feels strongly about something 🙂 Have any feedback on this? Any other ideas? Let us know in a thread 👇 or in this issue. Thanks everyone for being a part of this great community! meltano 🎉

Thanks @salmon-salesclerk-77709! I've added some follow-up steps to https://gitlab.com/meltano/meta/-/issues/33#note_556165974

didnt really know where to post my best practice question just now, so it went in troubleshooting. not sure how many of these you have or if its worth a channel?

Ooo good idea @square-stone-12907 🙂 let me think on it and I’ll get back to you this afternoon. ABout to get my 2nd covid shot!

@square-stone-12907 - Does #getting-started fit for the best practice question you had in mind?

I wouldn’t mind a #best-practices channel

👍👍

I added the #best-practices channel 🙂
