Hi All, since I am still disgruntled that I can no longer participate in Real Time Slack Chats, as Slack have a _nasty, your old hardware/software/OS/attitude…isn’t good enough for US!_ attitude, I have created a PUBLIC Pinegrow3.0 community chat over on gitter.im so that we can (well I CAN) continue to chat! (possibly on my own!)

So anyone can use it, but If I am trying to chat to someone I know, then that may be the way to go!

I’m looking at you @Rob  
😃

and many more, ie, @itsmeleo  
@MhdAljuboori

etc etc

so lets see how this rolls too! 🙂  
everyone is invited.

so here it is, I think this is the _Lobby_ Room

>
> Here to chat about Pinegrow! Check out the docs and forum at http://docs.pinegrow.com/ and http://forum.pinegrow.com/

and as usual, this is powered by total enthusiasm and a complete lack of understanding.  
yeah baby!
