lots of the slack history is getting lost because we're not paying for slack. can @PePe Amengual set up a donation where people can contribute?

I wouldn’t hold your breath, slack pricing is insane, for the number of users in this slack it’s £10,157 per month

oh jesus

We're not allowed to ask for donations because of hashicorp owning the runatlantis github org.

I didn’t know that. that’s sound like a conflict of interest It’s not in Hashicorp’s interest for Atlantis to thrive and succeed since it’s competing with their Cloud service.

well this has been like that for years and development and contribution still makes this project better. They have no decision on what gets merged or improved

but I’m guessing Atlantis being sponsored by an external organization like (cncf, apache…etc) is not an option? I know figuring out who owns the intellectual property for the project can be complex considering the long history of this project

that is a personal decision of Luke

We use https://www.linen.dev, which is free, it enables us to have an anonymous searchable history of all the Slack messages in our public channels on https://community-chat.infracost.io We link to that from our website so people can search there for their issue and if it’s not there then post in here

Nice, looks suitable for Atlantis use case.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that, we'll bring it up with the owner of runatlantis!
