I just have to state that there's a significant amount of people on this
list (myself included) that will not use slack (I don't have it installed
on any of my machines, and will not install it). Perhaps an open source
platform (matrix) or simply an IRC channel would work for us. Although that
still would not guarantee that anyone would show up.

That said, I do host a Linux schedule monthly meeting on Google meets if
you would like to join that.
