Slack
PS1 Slack
There is a PS1 Slack channel at https://pumpingstation1.slack.com/
Slack has user guides at their Help Center.
https://join.slack.com/t/pumpingstation1/signup
To use the signup link it’s necessary to use an @pumpingstationone.org email address.
Any other members may get access to the Slack Channel by sending a request by email to an administrator such as but not limited to [email protected] or [email protected]. Email [email protected] if you have questions about the PS1 slack.
Slack has an excellent mobile interface, and is often used as a team communication tool when participants rely on a mobile device. There is a web interface and there are OS-specific clients.
Be nice to each other, use things to do good deeds. Communicate early and often.
Fun stuff:
- https://slackmojis.com/ is a fun place to look for custom emoji.
Slack Administration
- The slack channel is administrated by [email protected], a number of board members and rdoeksen.
- Users with a pumpingstationone.org email account can sign in without a manual step IIRC. See the join link above. Current and former board members and area hosts and volunteers have these email accounts.
- PS1 is not charged for this service. We currently use the free plan.
- The slack is running on Slack's servers and does not depend or rely on any PS1 resources. Slack maintains a status page at https://status.slack.com/ and communicates status from their twitter account, @SlackStatus. As long as Slack services are running, it is available whether or not the PS1 internet service, security certificate, DNS servers or any other systems are functioning.
