Yammer and Discourse

I would like to re-bum this.

As a new Mozilla employee it’s really frustrating to see how the internal yammer is used every single day to post about public things that should go to other channels and how people keeps creating yammer groups to discuss public work.

We need to push and show people how bad this is for the project. Right now it’s not one, but two private Yammer instances (mozillians and staff) where the 90% of the messages are no-reason-to-be-private stuff.

I think right now that we have a general mozillians category here and reply by mail and notifications are working just like a mailing list, there are no excuses to keep using private and proprietary channels.

Any ideas about who should be the right person to help us mobilize this?
