Open Stack

I'm in a passworded channel, where the majority of members work on
OpenStack, but whose common denominator is "We're in the same
organizational unit in HP". We talk about openstack, we talk about HP, we
talk about burning man, we talk about movies, good places to drink - it's a
nice little backchannel of idle chatter. There have been a few times when
things related to OpenStack came up, and in that case we've booted the
topic to a public channel (There was an example just yesterday). Either
way, in this case a private channel was created because we could
potentially be discussing corporate things, it's more analogous to your
Teams' internal Hipchat or IRC server (in fact, it started in HipChat, and
then we were all 'why do we have to use another chat client' and that ended
that).

So there's one use case.
