#Spectrum.chat has been acquired by MS via GH:

"Spectrum will stay open source, and we’ll continue collaborating with the open source community to serve you the best way we can."
I hope so, but given that GH keeps a bunch of their secret sauce proprietary, I'm not going to hold my breath. One less #SlackaLike to recommend ;)

Weird that GH sold #Gitter, a mature codebase they'd kept proprietary, and which already had a significant user base, and then bought a much newer, #FreeCode chat platform like Spectrum, which is only just out of beta. What can we read between the lines here about the MS for GH going forward?
