• Changes to Kubernetes Slack (Kubernetes Contributors blog)

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Jun 17 06:40:08 2025

    The Kubernetes project has announced
    that it will be losing its "special status" with the Slack communication platform and will be
    downgraded to the free tier in a matter of days:

    On Friday, June 20, we will be subject to the feature
    limitations of free Slack. The primary ones which will affect us
    will be only retaining 90 days of history, and having to disable
    several apps and workflows which we are currently using. The Slack
    Admin team will do their best to manage these limitations.

    The project has a FAQ
    covering the change, its impacts, and more. The CNCF projects staff
    has proposed
    a move to the Discord service as
    the best option to handle the more than 200,000 users and thousands of
    posts per day from the Kubernetes community. The Kubernetes Steering
    Committee will be making its decision "in the next few weeks".
