Slack
Our main communication channel is Slack. Slack is like a collection of WhatsApp group chats but better - including better file sharing and most important: custom emojis and a very good giphy integration for all kinds of shenanigans. 😉
We use Slack for to coordinate the local chapters as well as for the organization of the activities of "central" CorrelAid, e.g. the organization of projects, meetups, etc. For example:
During the week, we work on the different CorrelAid topics in the channels. Channels are either designated to a certain topic (e.g. #projects for projects, #education for eductation, #fundraising for collaborating on grant proposals) or are focused on local chapters (#lc-bremen, #lc-berlin, #lc-mannheim, ...). If you are interested in a certain topic and/or local chapter, you can join the corresponding channel(s) to see what's already going on. Or even better: share your ideas!
If you need help with anything related to CorrelAid or data science or coding, feel free to ask away in the** #help **channel.
found a funny Meme or Gif and need to share with someone? Stumbled across a very useful tutorial for something? Post it to #random!
Have a new idea that doesn't fit in any channel? Need people to join you for something exciting? Post it in #general!
It's really easy to lose track of things in Slack and the core team cannot read everything that's going on. So if you've been working on some great idea / project, please update the core team from time to time - either through a direct message to someone from the core team or a post in #general or another more populated channel!
