To set up a Zulip community, someone can follow any of the "sign up" buttons to go to https://zulipchat.com/new/ and create a Zulip organization at a URL like python.zulipchat.com. Then let us know and we'll mark that organization to get Zulip Cloud Premium for free permanently. (We can also give it a custom domain like chat.python.org later.)
To prevent anyone from squatting on the name I just tried to register for python.zulipchat.com but was told that subdomain is not available (although python.zulipchat.com says there's no organization). :(
I have gone ahead and registered python-lang.zulipchat.com (although nothing is set up yet since April Fools is my annual "stay off the internet" day plus I try to do no open source on Sundays and I would like to try and adhere to that :) . I will start configuring things probably tomorrow and will open things up to the community once I have gone through and tweaked all the settings (although it sounds like Greg is promoting leaving everything very open and going with the defaults, from stream creation to bot integration? Is that right, Greg?). IOW don't bother trying to use this yet as it's not publicly accessible ATM. Now if someone here actually registered python.zulipchat.com and simply didn't mention that then I'm happy to switch to that name and delete the organization I just created (although if we eventually put this behind a *. python.org subdomain I guess it doesn't really matter too much). Those that want to be admins can email me privately and I will add you to the organization (I will be restricting this to folks I know I can personally trust since admins can delete and ban people, so apologies in advance if I don't know you but you wanted to get involved at the admin-level).
