Gitter.im room

[Happy-Ferret]

Just an idea, but how about setting up a Gitter room for qbrt? IMHO, this could really push development forward and increase developer engagement.

The same goes for a lot of Mozilla projects.

I think aside of @Noitidart I've never spoken to a single Mozillian on there.

As much as I enjoyed past conversations with some of you guys over Bugzilla, Gmail and/or Google Hangouts, it's not very practical and always feels a bit insular.

Compare that to the experience working on open source projects initiated by Facebook, Github, Google, Intel or Microsoft.

Hey!

Just thought I'd mention you as the one exemplary example (redundancy?) of a Mozillian I don't have to send a carrier pigeon after, every time I want to discuss a piece of code (or even just the weather). 😄

Although I was thinking of you earlier today. For two separate reasons:

1. The js ctypes code for controlling gamma under Windows you helped me with has become a constant companion. At work, where I'm constrained to a crusty old Windows 8.1 machine, it's the only comfortable way I could implement Night Mode without ever leaving the comforts of the browser or the xpcshell. Thanks for the help!

2. I thought about how qbrt could establish its own variant of an ABI stable "N-API" and how your knowledge (and code) might help with it.

Thanks!!! <3 :)

Gitter doesn't currently have access to the "mozilla" GitHub organization. I've emailed Mozilla's github-owners list (of which I'm a member) about it, and it's possible we'll grant access to Gitter. Otherwise, I could create a chat room that isn't linked to the repo, or I could move the repo to another organization that does grant Gitter access. Stay tuned.
