[16:51:25] <jaraco> So I’m thinking that this IRCCloud isn’t going to work for me.

[16:51:51] <jaraco> It disconnects after 2 hours of inactivity, which means I need to leave a client on somewhere or manually reconnect.

[16:52:06] <jaraco> Or pay the $5/mo for a subscription.

[16:52:55] <jaraco> And I don’t want to pay $5/mo just for my open source projects support, especially when an alternative exists that’s free.

[16:58:29] <dstufft> jaraco: did you try emailing them and say you maintain setuptools and wonder if they'll sponsor a plan for you so you can easily communicate with the rest of packaging folks? :D I do that for PyPI stuff all the time

[16:59:03] <jaraco> dstufft: Good idea.

[17:00:19] <dstufft> jaraco: it's kinda crazy how much free stuff you can get by emailing companies going "yea I maintain X and it'd help me to have Y to maintain this thing"

[17:00:24] <dstufft> sometimes you get told no though :[

[17:01:24] <dstufft> jaraco: fwiw- I also plan on trying out standing up a PSF ran mattermost (an OSS slack) instance with an IRC gateway at some point

[17:01:32] <dstufft> might be an option

[17:01:40] <dstufft> I have no idea how well that will turn out
