Morning Social: Chat about Slack best practices and tips

It's time to reconnect with other documentarians over a beverage of your choice!

Join us for a focused and friendly conversation. Attend for as long as your schedule allows. Our goal is to give you an opportunity to support and network with each other.

Let's chat about Slack
Slack is a messaging app that connects us to people who help us get our work done. Slack is an acronym that stands for Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge.
In the Write the Docs (WTD) Slack, we share event announcements, career advice, guidance on best practices, and more. This page has instructions on how to join the WTD Slack: https://www.writethedocs.org/slack/. But there’s a learning curve, and we’re still on it!
Let’s share tips and best practices for using Slack:

• Why do you use the WTD Slack network? What kinds of information have you shared, what questions have you asked, and what have you learned? What channels do you follow?
• Learn about Slack tutorials, like how to Find information you need and how to Get notified about topics you care about.
• Slack etiquette to collaborate with kindness.
• What’s challenging or confusing about Slack? What do you not love? (Maybe someone has a solution!)
• What are some best practices? Favorite tips and tricks?
• How else do you stay connected to colleagues?

Bring your questions and thoughts, and we’ll share knowledge as well as get to know each other.

We'll use Zoom for this social. Please RSVP to receive the Zoom link here in the event description.
