I expect this is one you mentioned in your list, but I think @rockylinux.org is happy with mattermost (and they, mm, may be able to grant you a license so you don't need to pay for "enterprise" features).

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

in light of the current supply chain attacks, I've just published a @github.com action to detect packages that _lose_ their provenance.

📦 supports pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock (v1)
🎨 inline GitHub annotations
✅ JSON output + configurable
💪 published in TS with zero deps

@popey.me hey, long time no chat, hope you've been keeping well. I know your not at canonical anymore, but do you know anyone I could ping to update the golang snap to 1.25? Or would my best bet just be to post in the forum?

MTL Eats:
- Schwartz's Deli (Smoked Meat sandwich w/ side pickle and a black cherry cola)
- La Banquise 24/7 (any of the Poutines)
- St-Viateur Bagel (I get the sesame seed one with either butter or cream cheese)

(The last two have veggie/vegan options depending on your dietary needs)
