Slack

Slack is a virtual office space where users can chat to each other one-to-one or in various "Channels" about a given topic. Slack is still to gain a critical mass within the collaboration but it is hoped that it will be a useful tool in the future.

How to Use

Go to slack.com and sign up with your fnal.gov e-mail address. You should be able to see a list of workspaces you can join and "Mu2e" should be one of them.

Browse the list of channels by clicking "Channels" in the left sidebar and join those you are interested in.

The current, most-used channels are:

• #general
  • all members of the Mu2e "team" join this channel
• #is_it_me_or_a_bug
  • the Slack equivalent of the "HELP! Is it me or a bug?" hypernews forum
• #basicqs
  • a channel for asking any basic question about anything related to the experiment of Fermilab
• #meeting_rides
  • a channel to organise carpooling (e.g. for collaboration meetings)
• #youngmu2e
  • a channel for all Young Mu2e members to chat about anything

Can't find an appropriate channel? Then add one by clicking the "+" next to "Channels"!
