[[Category: SPO600]][[SPO600]] students use a number of communication tools that have been built and heavily adopted by Open Source communities. This page contains set-up instructions for some of these communication tools.
== Wiki ==
{{Admon/important|This is a Wiki!|...Which means you can edit it. Obviously, don't change things such as assignment due dates (!), but feel free to create new pages, add text to existing pages, fix any typos you find, and add resources and links.}}
== Blog and Planet ==
IRC stands for ''Internet Relay Chat'' and provides immediate, text-based chat facilities. See the [[Irc|IRC]] article on this wiki for details. Some open source projects use IRC extensively, others are moving away from it.
-->
== Slack ==
Slack is an online discussion system. Sign up to use the [https://seneca-open-source.slack.com Seneca Open Source Slack] workspace (sign-up with your @myseneca.ca email; this same Slack workspace is used in the [[OSD600]]/[[DPS909]] course, so you may already have an account if you're also taking that course).
== Email ==
Etherpad is a collaborative editor. Seneca's Etherpad system is located at http://etherpad.cdot.proximity.on.ca and etherpad URLs can be tracked at the [[Etherpad Index]].
-->
= Community Communication Resources =
Each open source community uses some combination of email, [[Irc|IRC]], blogs, wiki, and bug-tracking systems to facilitate communication. Learn the tools used by the communities you are interacting with, and communicate with their preferred tools.
