This document discusses integrating Slack and IRC to address problems with using Facebook Groups and forums for an Ubuntu community in Korea. It notes issues with cost and surveys that showed preference for a single chat solution. The solution involved using a free Google Cloud VM instance with a Slack-IRC bot to connect the two systems. Working with an IRC manager, this resulted in a new way for the community to communicate across the different chat platforms.
