[Bioc-devel] Bioconductor is moving from Slack to Zulip – 2 June

[Maria.Doyle]

Dear all,

Bioconductor is switching from Slack to Zulip as our main community chat platform on Monday 2 June 2025.

This change will preserve message history and support more structured, open discussions. Zulip offers topic-based threads, full history access, and better support for distributed collaboration � all aligned with our open-source mission.

Timeline:

  *   30 May � Final Slack export
  *   1 June � Slack Pro ends
  *   2 June � Zulip goes live (Slack channels renamed and set to read-only)

Details and background:

Existing Slack users will receive an invite by email. Others can join from 2 June:

For help during the transition, see the blog post above.

Best,
Maria
