[PSF-Community] STOP THE INTRODUCTIONS

[harshjv at gmail.com]

Slack is not a drop-in replacement over mailing-list for our Python community, but for social introductions and quick messages definitely slack can be used without message archives (or as Emmanuelle Delescolle pointed out, Python being Open Source, Slack can provide archiving feature for free).

(FYI, so far 28 users have registered on Slack channel and is growing.)

Please keep the replies relating to python; not who you are. If we were a team of 20 people introductions would be great, but we are all over the world and introductions are pointless. Nobody is going to remember you; I'm being honest and not rude.
