We are currently using Slack on a trial basis as a better interface to our IRC channel.
Our Slack channel is intended to be used as a bridge to our IRC channel, providing better support for mobile users, and modern features like auto-expanding images and web links. There is no plan to fully migrate to Slack.
It's best to avoid using Slack features that exclude IRC users, such as creating other channels.

Download Slack apps for your devices
Slack is available as a download for most popular platforms, including Windows, Linux, OS X, Android and iOS.
IRC mirroring
We have a bot that mirrors conversation between Slack and IRC, allowing people on either platform to talk to each other. Images uploaded to Slack are automatically mirrored to Imgur for the benefit of IRC users. Joins and parts are not shown in Slack as it'd generate too much noise in the channel.
