Communication

We’ll get organized with Slack. If you don’t already have an account, you can create one.

Most lessons have their own Slack channel. They are accessible from the README file in their respective GitHub repositories. To coordinate across lessons, we also set up channels for the Social Sciences and Geospatial curricula:

If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask them on the General Slack channel.

How to get involved and contribute?

Review our Bug BBQ guide.

Look for issues with the good first issue or the help wanted labels among the issues in the lesson repositories.
