UPDATE: Mattermost has been making significant changes to its model, essentially limiting what we can offer freely to the BC post-secondary community. We cannot confidently support the platform beyond 2025. We hope to keep the lights on until April 2026, but that is presuming no further surprises or setbacks.
We will be investigating options, but until we can identify another collaboration platform that we can host with confidence, we are sad to say we cannot provide new teams to users at this time.
Mattermost is an open-source, self-hosted collaboration platform with features similar to Slack and Microsoft Teams. As an alternative to proprietary messaging platforms, Mattermost brings team communication into one place, making it easily searchable and accessible from any device.
OpenETC provides British Columbia post-secondary educators public and invitation only Mattermost spaces that can be used for projects, classes, programs, and special interest communities.
See some of the Stories of OpenETC in Action that feature the use of Mattermost.
