IRC to replace Mattermost server
Following the feedback we obtained from all of you, we have decided to replace Mattermost, powering https://chat.embl.org, with an older technology, called IRC, following after the successful example of other communities.
We hope that with this change you won’t have to deal with the burden of finding the right emoji and meme for every occasion.
You will also be able to invite your oldies if /join #channel and /me commands are too unfamiliar or confusing.

Introducing BIT With a modular design, allowing for anyone to contribute new behavior with very little code, BIT, EMBL’s Bio-IT chat bot, is slowly gaining new abilities and showing its usefulness.

The EMBL chat
EMBL’s (Bio-IT) chat has been initiated in 2017 to facilitate internal real-time interactions between people at EMBL, to promote group discussions and sharing of information.
As of 2021 more than 1000 users are registered with over 120 active daily. In part due to the 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation, the platform gained particular relevance and became a central hub for communication between members of all EMBL sites. The platform effectively became a pan-EMBL service in 2021, welcoming EMBL-EBI, that would join all other EMBL sites.
