First, go to your preferences page using the '''my preferences''' link (which appears at the top of each page when you're logged in), and check the box marked "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed". Next, click on the "watch" link on the top of any pages for which you want to receive change notification. For example, you may want to be informed when a change is made to pages that you have created, and you may also want to be notified when a page containing due dates or assignment details is changed.
== Blog and Planet ==
A ''blog'' or ''weblog'' is a (usually personal) website where dated articles are posted over a period of time. In the open source community, blogs are used to announce new projects, project releases, and general information, to comment on current happenings, to record personal reflections, and to comment on other people's blog postings. Many Open Source communities aggregate posts from their community members into a [http://planetplanet.org|Planet] so that it is possible to view posts from the entire community on one web page.
See the Open Source@Seneca [[Blog Guidelines]] and [[Open Source@Seneca Planet List|Planet List]] for information about setting up your blog and including your postings in our Planet.
IRC stands for ''Internet Relay Chat'' and provides immediate, text-based chat facilities. See the [[Irc]] article on this wiki for details.
== E-mail ==
When communicating with your professors by e-mail, please your Seneca-provided e-mail address as the "From:" address (<code>''yourname''@learn.senecac.on.ca</code>). Because most LUX professors teach multiple courses in multiple programs, it's helpful if you include your course code in the subject line of your e-mail.
The Seneca e-mail student server can be accessed through a webmail interface at https://learn.senecac.on.ca/
'''Tip:''' You can have your e-mail forwarded to another address of your choosing using the webmail "Preferences" settings. You can also pick up your e-mail using the IMAP protocol.

== Fedora Planet ==
The [http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Planet] is open to any FAS2 account holder who has signed the CLA and is a member of another group (i.e., contributes to or participates in Fedora in some way). To add your feed to the Fedora planet, you must [[:fedora:Planet_HowTo edit a file]]. '''Tip:''' Use your blog's tag-based feeds for the Fedora and OpenSource@Seneca Planets. For example, create a tag named "Fedora" and a tag named "Seneca", and use the tag-specific feeds for the two planets. That way, you can control which planets get each of your blog postings.

= When to use Seneca tools and when to use Fedora tools =
For things content that are is directly related to the Fedora project, use the Fedora communication tools wherever possible. For example, if you have written up a FAQ or tutorial page related to a Fedora software package, put it on the Fedora wiki, because then you're contributing directly to the Fedora project and your work will reach the widest audience possible. You can then link to that resource from the Seneca wiki if appropriate.
When communicating specifically about the LUX courses, use the Seneca communication tools. For example, post your lab results on the OpenSource@Seneca planet.
