Hi Michael,

this is the screen I get:
[img]https://up.picr.de/39954061zl.png[/img]

It says "You have no email from apache.org? Please ask your workspace administrator at ASF for an invitation."

This is the link from Devanshu's message which I clicked:
"To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slack account using this invite link <https://s.apache.org/slack-invite>"
