Please note that as a third-party service, the Slack workspace may be subject to future service interruptions. Slack serves as a supplementary communication channel in addition to our primary channels: mailing lists and GitHub.

We have different platforms for our community members to communicate, including GitHub Issues, and GitHub Discussions. They're all asynchronous communication channels, but if you want real-time chatting with other people, you can join Slack.
