[TriPython] Gitter Organization

[Calloway, Chris]

Didn't choose Slack because not open source, limits on unpaid organizations messages and members, and the ton of open source organizations already on Gitter. Things like jupyter, conda, ipywidgets, matplotlib, dask, ipython, pydata, pandas, Django, xarray, scikit-learn/image, etc.. It seems to fit our ecosystem. The Python Slack team, for which the PSF pays, requires an invitation to join, although you can request an invitation. Gitter also supports mobile, desktop, and browser and I use it in my day job. I've been checking out the options for awhile. Anyone feel free to start a TriPython Slack team.

    and many of us probably already use it for our day jobs. Plus it has
    mobile, desktop, and browser support on all the platforms. The general
    Python Community has a Slack workspace which I am on already.
