That's exactly my concern about Mattermost too! Therefore we're
currently using Rocket.Chat (https://rocket.chat/docs/) which looks and
feels much more open. It connects well to the Kolab LDAP directory. What
are your concerns about Rocket.Chat?

And then there is Matrix which looks like to be the new federated chat
protocol: http://matrix.org/. It features the nice looking Riot
messaging app: https://riot.im/. What do you think about Matrix? Why not
base the new Kolab IM on this protocol and re-use/integrate Synapse
(https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse)?

Cheers,
Tobias
