    Ah thanks. Well hopefully that’s all just lip service to cover them while they shift over to something they control anyway.

      Best case for their charity is likely to stay on Slack to get them as corporate sponsors, but add “data sovereignty” as a core part of their curriculum. That keeps the charity going, but instills the foss ethos in all their students.

      Who knows though. They have 5 years of free slack either way because it would be incredibly bad PR to revoke it now. The runway is there to exit cleanly at least, which is a lot more than they had before.
