Did you make the Slack public? I cannot join as it stands now.

Please don’t fragment the support space. There’s no way I’m going to add slack to my work flows.

Hi,

While we definitely appreciate your enthusiasm, I kind of agree with Phil that there’s a risk of spreading things a little too thin. That said, you can give these a shot, and if they work out, great. **However** , I must strongly recommend that you change the names of them away from “Inductive Automation”. They can’t appear to be official support venues. If you want to call them “Unofficial Ignition Support Community”, or “Inductive Automation Unofficial” or whatever, that’s fine.
