Engineering Four ways Slack can help engineers find their ideal state of flow

We released Zulip Server 3.1 today. This is a bug fix release, containing a few dozen cherry-picked changes since Zulip Server 3.0.

A lot will happen over the next 1,000 years, and the codebase for the Mattermost open source project will be along for the entire ride. On July 8, GitHub successfully deposited 21 terabytes of open source repository data in the Arctic World Archive, a (very) long-term storage facility located on the Svalbard archipelago in Norway near the North Pole.

Your mood, your demeanor and your verbal and nonverbal behaviors exert a powerful influence on your team members and the working environment. Every moment of the day, our brain is busy scanning the environment for unpleasant things we should avoid and pleasant things we should rush toward. Those things we actively work to avoid put us in “defensive” mode, and the positive items we seek out trigger what she describes as, “discovery” mode.

Hopefully by now you have all upgraded to Element, with Android users leaving behind the old legacy Riot Android app. If you haven’t already been previewing it via RiotX (which has been in beta for a year now), it should hopefully feel like a game changer: as we said in our Welcome to Element post, we’ve got more than just a rebrand going on here! But let’s rewind a bit.

Think of communication as the oxygen of a remote team. Like a good relationship, it takes work to communicate well, and there are ups and downs. As Carol Dweck from Stanford University, shares in her book Mindset: "It takes work to communicate accurately. It takes work to expose and resolve conflicting hopes and beliefs. It doesn't mean there is no 'they live happily ever after' but it's more like 'they worked happily ever after.'"

It’s been more than a year-and-a-half since we started using Cypress for our automated functional testing, and it has been well worth the investment. Cypress has now become an essential part of our process to automate regression testing, which helps us ship new releases faster, with increased quality.

To commence this discourse regarding effective employee communication we shall, before all else, formalize a definition for the term. The above is an example of over-inflated written communication. Big words are used making the sentence unnecessarily complex.

One of our favorite things about Mattermost is that it makes it easy for teams to collaborate on projects and topics in specific channels. Today, we’re excited to announce that Mattermost users can now easily carry conversations over to a video conference and screen sharing with Jitsi, a leading open-source video conferencing solution.

The COVID-19 pandemic left conference organizers and event planners in a tough spot. Hosting a virtual conference seems to be the natural move for organizations that had to move away from face-to-face events in 2020. However, organizing online events might seem overwhelming for a few people.

Are you planning to enhance the productivity of your business operations? Do you want to implement specific changes in your marketing activities? Well, if your answer is yes, don’t just introduce the changes straightaway. It will undoubtedly invite trouble, especially if it’s a significant change that could impact your way of doing business. Rather, you should try out Team Management Software. But, if you ask me why, here is the answer.

We’re excited to announce the release of Zulip Server 3.0, containing hundreds of new features and bug fixes to help distributed and remote teams stay productive and focused. Zulip is the open-source threaded team chat app, used by thousands of teams globally. Zulip’s unique topic-based threading experience combines the immediacy of real-time chat with the asynchronous efficiency of email-style threading.

Although Element is working with companies around the world, our busiest region is Europe and in particular European governments and public sector organisations. There are multiple reasons, but three of the biggest are: Data ownership, open collaboration and privacy are driving the use of Matrix Element’s messaging and collaboration solution, being based on the open source Matrix project, is decentralised.

Hi everyone, We are incredibly excited to announce that Riot is now Element! In fact we have simplified all our naming: Element is also the name for New Vector (the company behind Riot) while Modular, our flagship Matrix hosting service, has become Element Matrix Services. For those discovering us for the first time: Element is the flagship secure collaboration app for the decentralised Matrix communication network.

Mattermost Release v5.25 is generally available today. The new Extended Support Release offers many bug fixes for increased stability (see changelog for details) as well as the following new features.

As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dreamwork. Building an effective and successful team takes time, and it’s even harder in the case of distributed, remote teams. How can you run effectively a team of persons without, well, meeting in person? With the rise of remote work worldwide, many teams have found themselves juggling projects, deadlines, and goals while spread all over the country, or even all over the world. When the team works like a well-oiled clock, they can achieve big things.

In this release, we added some great new features to both the Community Edition and the Enterprise Edition. We will briefly walk you through the main features in this post.

According to a survey by Workopolis, 90% of people believe that Telecommuting contributes to more productivity. However, these are the people who have had a practice of working from home, unlike most employees today, who find themselves in an unprecedented situation in the year 2020 as a global pandemic rages and their bosses have ordained work from home as mandatory. Initially, the new work order may look heaven-sent and a miracle.

One of the most important parts of the Mattermost source code is the one responsible for accessing the Mattermost database: the store. Every single database access is handled by the store, so we needed to find a way to extend its functionality while introducing as little complexity as possible. This is the reason behind the current layered approach using struct embedding.

If you’re still using emails to exchange work messages, who better than you can understand the problem of endless email chains, annoying CC’s, and accidental Reply All’s? While emails have a certain charm, they’re not the best tool for internal communication. If you use email for work chat, reviewing all the conversations about a single project requires sifting through multiple email chains.
