  • e Gliders group

    From Hank Nixon@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 5 13:22:53 2023
    The e Gliders group that was on Slack has gone quiet.
    Has it migrated, and if so, where?
    Please contact me directly.

    Wondering if this eGliders Slack group is still going and how I can find it?

    May have gone dormant due to cost.

    I was able to get to the group, using my email address. The link is

    https://app.slack.com/client/T014CTL2GAJ/C014Y8MSU9F

    The last entry in Russia was Nov 9, 2022, by Jim M; the last entry in General was Jan 5,

    Good question Hank, I’m still here. I’ve tried to get ahold of Kenn a couple of times
    over the last few months with no luck. What’s new?"

    It seems to be operating, but nobody is there.

    I don't know if eGliders Slack is a free instance/workspace, but if it is and traffic is low, it could very well look like a ghost town. Starting last fall, Slack is "tossing" posts older than 90 days on the free ones.

    That agrees with my experience.
    I don't have a direct contact for Kenn.
    Maybe he'll see this thread.

    We transitioned to Discord, https://discord.gg/YGNcpd4jG9

    Slack's 90-day policy is extremely detrimental. Fortunately, I was able to preserve all the old messages and attachments and bring them to Discord.

    Great, I'm sure Hank and others will be happy about preserving info. I don't contribute to it directly but I flew Hanks -24e conversion just over 100 hours in '22, several test climbs, a save and a motor home.
    Not a convert, but getting around or home is good. Always when set up to land off field....
