> We have an engineering team and open source community distributed over several continents, but the conversation lives in one place - and that's Gitter.
> **Valentin Anastase**, Freezing Moon:
>
> Other communication solutions for the projects I’ve been involved in were far from ideal. Switching to Gitter was one of the best decisions I've made and there's no going back now.
> **Troy McConaghy**, BigchainDB developer:
>
> Gitter is the main way people contact us to ask questions about BigchainDB. I guess it just feels more open, immediate and personal.
> **Krishna Srinivas**, Minio:
>
> Gitter is the IRC of the post-IRC era. It has helped us at Minio build and connect with our community really well.
> **Sam Saccone**, Marionette.js Lead:
>
> Gitter has helped to bring the Marionette community together, turning it into a thriving collaborative environment that has been exceedingly beneficial to both our endusers and maintainers.
