[OMIK] HBCUs on the Air on Discord

[Jesse Alexander]

I've set up a server on Discord for HBCUs on the Air. Here's the invite link:
https://discord.gg/p4kTX5vke  Please sign in and kick the tires, and
leave any ideas or suggestions in the suggestion box forum.

Why Discord?
+ Because many young(er) folk use it.
+ Because many in the ham radio community use it: ARDC, GLAARG VEC,
POTA, Meshtastic, YOTA, etc.
+ Because it's easy to interact than email.

Problems:
+ Yes I'm am (painfully) aware that haters use Discord--but I'm also
aware that they use most of the other platforms--including WhatsApp.
That's why I'm keeping the server off discovery mode...for now.
+ I'm also aware that Discord is not opensource and owned by a private company.

Right now the Single Source of Truth (SSoT) for HOTA project is the
HOTA project website
(https://sites.google.com/view/hbucs-on-the-air/home). It's my
intention to mirror project traffic from this reflector onto Discord.
The Discord server and this email reflector are the only platforms
I'll use for communications about the HOTA project going forward,
because it's too much work to maintain knowledge on many platforms. In
other words, if you want my "undivided" attention about this project
hit me up on Discord or this email reflector.
