How to use Slack

  • Everybody on Slack already? => https://powercoders.slack.com/
  • What is Slack?
    • Like WhatsApp, but multiple channels based on #topics
  • Our main communications tool:
    • #lsn: the channel for everybody involved in the Powercoders 003 Lausanne class.
      • Announcements from teachers / coaches / mentors
      • Questions concerning curriculum / activities in Lausanne
      • Success stories / achievements / good news (and not-so-good news as well)
    • #ch-resources: everything about resources - be it articles, job offers, courses, etc...
    • #ch-random: everything else. cool stuff. nonsense. jokes.
    • @[username]: personal messages
  • Communication Rules
    • Use the appropriate channel. If unsure, use #ch-random.
    • If you want to address / notify somebody, use his/her @[username] in your message
    • Using @channel in a message sends a notification to everybody in this channel. Only use this if you really want to notify everbody in this channel.
    • To answer or discuss a specific message / question in the channel, please use threads:
  • Important: to make it easy for mentors / teachers / coaches to recognize you, please add a profile picture of yourself:
    • Ask your neighbor to take a picture with your mobile phone and update your profile right now
