At Mattermost, we believe in the power of open source software and open companies. To this end, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been accepted into Google’s inaugural Season of Docs, a new program designed to highlight the promise of open source technology while raising awareness of the critical role docs and the technical writers who create them play in the success of open source projects.
At Mattermost, we built an intuitive workplace messaging platform that all kinds of teams can use productively right away, regardless of technical prowess. That said, we understand that learning new platforms isn’t always the easiest thing in the world. Some Mattermost users will have longer learning curves than others, and that’s perfectly okay. We all march at different speeds.
Mattermost and Slack are tools that increase team productivity through workplace messaging. Both platforms help companies communicate faster, solve problems in less time, and bring new employees up to speed quickly. For many privacy-conscious organizations that have global teams, strict security requirements, or a team of developers that is continuously looking for ways to accelerate workflows, Slack falls flat.
We are releasing a recommended security update via Mattermost Team Edition 5.9.1, 5.8.2 and 4.10.9 (ESR) and Mattermost Enterprise Edition 5.9.1, 5.8.2 and 4.10.9 (ESR). This security update addresses a high-level vulnerability discovered during a security research review by Leandro Chaves.
If you’re like most people, you consult customer reviews before choosing whether to buy something online. Reviews help us make better decisions since they provide insight into how real-world customers experience a company’s products or services. Instead of being told what a company wants you to hear, you get to hear what’s what directly from actual users. We love customer reviews at Mattermost.

In July 2018, privacy-conscious organizations found out that Hipchat would be decommissioned in 2019. Since many of these companies operate in highly regulated environments, they are unable to use popular SaaS messaging products that host sensitive data on third-party servers. With Hipchat rapidly reaching its end-of-life, these organizations are looking for a secure and modern messaging platform that can be hosted on-premises in their own data centers, behind a firewall.
Rapitt built their partner store app on top of Mattermost to create a platform that facilitates local commerce. Rapitt digitally connects local business owners with customers to enable specific use cases and transactions—like storing items for a period of time (e.g., a suitcase) and serving as a key-handling solution (e.g., Airbnb hosts can use Rapitt to provide keys to guests).
