| It is very possible that eventually, as we get comfortable with the Teams app and its synchronous video capabilites, that we will drop our zoom subscriptions. This will be revisted after AGM 2023 or before the next license renewal in zoom. | It is very possible that eventually, as we get comfortable with the Teams app and its synchronous video capabilites, that we will drop our zoom subscriptions.

| | ===== Will MS365 replace Skype? ===== |
| | Yes, in all likelihood, once we get everyone up and going on their Teams in MS365, this software provides for both chat and calls, and makes Skype superfluous. Skype did get bought by Microsoft but is generally being phased out within that company in favour of teams, and so this is likely timely in any case. |
| | |
| | ===== Will MS365 replace IRC? ===== |
| | This is a case of "time will tell." One of the benefits of irc is that not only is it not run on our infrastructure, it's global open nature meant that we could include non-Co-op staff in irc channels. Examples have been colleagues like Robin Johnson, James Fournie and Dan Scott. While MS365 can replicate some of the synchronous chat capabilities of IRC, it may not be desireable to loose this ability to easily include others outside the formal organization. The decision to finally leave IRC wil be made jointly with all the folks who typically use it as a technical backchannel part of the discussion, and likely won't get made until April 2023 or later. |
