My vote is for Gitter because the OS and EP development takes place nearby on GitHub and the majority of the questions here are directed towards those.

I would also suggest that the developers create software-specific rooms. For example, I could create and did create an UnmetHours room from my GitHub account...

https://gitter.im/MatthewSteen/UnmetHours

...but I don't necessarily think that I should own this community's chat room. Furthermore, I think it would be nice to have software-specific rooms, for example:

2021 Update

I think we should use the Matrix open source specification. Gitter was acquired by Element in 2020, which coincidentally uses it.

So, as a start I've created a __Matrix space__ called Building __Building Performance Simulation space on MatrixSimulation__ as a start. . There are bridges to both Gitter and Slack, which I may try to implement if there's interest. interest in connecting platforms.

The main features I think are important are the following.

1. Free
2. Open source
3. No message limits
