Slack

Slack is the internal communication tool we use at the fablab. If these instructions tell you to contact someone on Slack, but you don't have access to Slack yet follow the contact info at https://northforge.ca/contact/ .

When you are given access, you will automatically be subscribed to a number of default channels. I don't know exactly which channels these are. You can also browse the list of available channels and subscribe to any that you find interesting or relevant.

Important channels:

• 125-general for general goings-on (stuck in the back lane? Need someone to let you in? Hosting an event?)
• 125-broken for letting maintenance know when something is wrong
• 125-safety for important safety announcements and discussions
• 125-training for requesting training and learning about training opportunities
• 125-makers-requests if you want to hire a maker or take on jobs
• 125-announcements for important announcements
• 125-member-intro so you know who is becoming a new member
• 125-consumables to request more NF-supplied materials and supplies
• 125-volunteer to hear about ways you can help the fab lab and reduce your expenses
• 125-it-support in case something related to computers is broken
