PS1 Slack

There is a PS1 Slack channel at https://pumpingstation1.slack.com/

Slack has user guides at their Help Center.

To get access to the Slack Channel send an email to an administrator at rdoeksen@gmail.com, ray@pumpingstationone.org or pr@pumpingstationone.org. Email info@rt.pumpingstationone.org if you have questions about the PS1 slack.

Be nice to each other, use things to do good deeds. Communicate early and often.

Fun stuff:

https://slackmojis.com/ is a fun place to look for custom emoji.

Slack Administration

The slack channel is administrated by rdoeksen or pr@pumpingstationone.org. The credentials for the slack are shared with the board on the board LastPass account.
Users with a pumpingstationone.org email account can sign in without a manual step IIRC. Current and former board members and area hosts and volunteers have these email accounts.
PS1 is not charged for this service. We currently use the [free] plan.
The slack is running on Slack's servers and does not depend or rely on any PS1 resources. Slack maintains a status page at https://status.slack.com/ and communicates status from their twitter account, @SlackStatus. As long as Slack services are running, it is available whether or not the PS1 internet service, security certificate, DNS servers or any other systems are functioning.

+Fun stuff:
-* Q: Have the credentials for this slack been shared with the board and with systems people? [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:52, 18 January 2017 (CST)
+* https://slackmojis.com/ is a fun place to look for custom emoji.
-* A: Yes with the board at least, should be on the board-accessible LastPass account.
-* Q: Is SSO based on member accounts in use? Does Slack have that features [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:52, 18 January 2017 (CST)
-* A: No it is not. I don't know if it does.
-* Q: Who are the admins? How do people ask for access [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:52, 18 January 2017 (CST)
-* A: To get access, email [[User:rdoeksen|rdoeksen]] or post something on the Google Group, or send an email to info@pumpingstationone.org Did you know that you can get any question you want answered by sending it to info@pumpingstationone.org, that the board, some active members and any member that cares to monitor the traffic at rt.pumpingstationonone.org will see and deal with in a (possibly, usually) timely manner?
-* Q: Is the irc gateway enabled? Is xmpp enabled? [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:52, 18 January 2017 (CST)
-* A: No. Not that I know of.
-* Q: Is there a code of conduct based on our member agreement and anti-harassment policy? [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:52, 18 January 2017 (CST)
-* A: Yes, seems like a given; if it is a PS1 thing, then PS1 policies apply. Even if it were not a PS1 thing, that seems reasonable and I would (as the JFDI admin) hold to that.

-* Q: What is the log retention policy? [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:52, 18 January 2017 (CST)
+* The slack channel is administrated by [[User:rdoeksen|rdoeksen]] or pr@pumpingstationone.org. The credentials for the slack are shared with the board on the board LastPass account.
-* A: The logs roll over right now; for the logs to last more than 10,000 messages, someone would have to ask Slack for PS1 to have a free account based on NFP status as a 501 (c)(3) so far there has been no reported bad conduct like there was on the IRC channel to make this a serious concern; the 10,000 message limit would allow retrieval of recent messages.
