portico: Update for/open-source.
2017-07-28 20:02:28 +02:00
The Zulip core developers have decades of combined experience writing and
maintaining free and open source software. We use Zulip to keep contributors
engaged, efficiently make decisions, and fashion the day-to-day experience
of being a part of our project. No other chat product comes close to Zulip
in facilitating contributor engagement, making efficient use of maintainers'
time, and upholding the values of the FOSS community.
If you haven't read [why Zulip](/why-zulip), read that first. We've also
collected a list of features we think will be of particular interest for
open source communities using Zulip.

### Free hosting at zulipchat.com
portico: Update for/open-source.
2017-07-28 20:02:28 +02:00
No catch; the hosting is supported by (and is identical to) zulipchat.com's
commercial offerings. This offer extends to any community involved in
supporting free and open source software: development projects, foundations,
meetups, hackathons, conference committees, and more. If you’re not sure
whether your organization qualifies, send us an email at
support@zulipchat.com.

### Scale to thousands of users
portico: Update for/open-source.
2017-07-28 20:02:28 +02:00
For those running Zulip at home, we’ve done a lot of work to ensure that
drive-by members of the community don’t consume too many disk or CPU
resources. A Zulip server with 1000 active members and 10000 inactive
members takes about as many resources as a Zulip server with 1000 active
members.

### Join without an invitation
portico: Update for/open-source.
2017-07-28 20:02:28 +02:00
Allow anyone to
user docs: Remove allow-anyone-to-join-without-an-invitation. The information here was recently added to manage-who-can-join-and-invite. Arguably this is one we should save, since it is a distinctive feature not offered by all of our competitors, and it gets some additional visibility by being in the left sidebar. The model of having multiple things in the sidebar pointing to the same article is getting messy though, and as our feature count increases the cost of having stuff in the left sidebar is increasing as well.

portico: Add code of conduct features to for/open-source.md. We got asked about this from a potential user, and they seemed fairly excited and confused by it. In particular, it wasn't obvious that deactivating a user was the feature they were looking for.

### Enforce a code of conduct
Link to your community norms or give other instructions right on your Zulip
registration page. Admins can delete messages and deactivate (ban) users at
any time.
