[amsat-bb] Slack vs. eMail -- The medium is the message

[Peter Goodhall (2M0SQL)]

While I'm not a big slack fan, it's just yet another system you need to
monitor although works well perhaps when discussing satellite launches,
roves in real time, bit like the days of IRC.

Slack do offer non profits deals which I'm guessing AMSAT could look into
