We are coming up to the end of the year of sponsored Pro plan service from Salesforce. This Slack has existed for nearly ten years, and for most of that it has been on the Free plan. We were fortunate enough to connect with the CEO of Slack a few years ago to ask for sponsorship and he granted that. He moved on, we found new contacts at Salesforce (Slack's new owner), and they were willing to extend sponsorship for another year. Those contacts have all moved on (life in high tech -- constantly revolving management) and we have been unable to reach anyone appropriate within Salesforce, despite attempts from multiple Admins here over the past month-plus. It's possible that Salesforce will just renew the sponsored Pro plan on the 19th of December but we suspect that will not be the case, and therefore we will revert to the Free plan that we were on for most of the past decade -- which means limited history viewable and limited search capability. In addition, Slack now permanently deletes content older than one year on Free plans. Read more about the limitations of the Free plan here: https://slack.com/help/articles/27204752526611-Feature-limitations-on-the-free-version-of-Slack We have a lot of history mirrored to Clojurians Zulip Chat via @zulip-mirror-bot (up-to-date for all the channels that bot has been a member of), as well as to the searchable public ClojureVerse Log via @logbot (although that currently stops in August this year). We are working with the Gaiwan folks (@plexus et al) to get that Log updated. The Admin team has a complete archive (taken today) of all public messages in all public channels, which also contains links to files in Slack (but not the files themselves). There have already been some discussions in #spam-reports about possible paths forward, should we lose Pro sponsorship. Folks can stay here and live life the way we used to live before we got sponsorship. Folks can become more active in various other Clojure communities (there's a thread about that you can contribute to). We're also open to making the archived content available to select volunteers who step up to build searchable knowledgebase style tools on top of that content (again, there's a thread about that you can contribute to). All follow-up should happen in #spam-reports in existing threads please, unless you have some completely new path that warrants a new thread.
