  • i3 Windows Manager, Yann Labbé (WILLOW), slides
  • How to manage a Mattermost instance for your research team chat, Pedro Ortiz-Suarez (ALMANACH). Managing your own Mattermost instance is an alternative to the free Slack plan.

One important setting is to restrict the maximum size of the attachmed files (see this for more details). During the discussion, it was mentioned that Inria IT was planning to deploy a Mattermost Inria instance with some flexibility for inviting non Inria people. In principle, the Inria Mattermost instance should be deployed around April 2020.
