I messed up the link to the Slack sign-in, use this link instead:

This will be used as a time for open design and questions for the e-board, or as a time for running our competitions or skill sessions. Specific times for these events will come as they are planned, and sent out on this e-mail list and through our other methods of communication.

There is also a messaging feature we use, but you won't get the messages as e-mails without setting the option to receive messages as e-mails in your Ducksync profile.

To sign into our Slack, go to this link, and follow the "Create an Account" link underneath the login prompt. Enter your Stevens e-mail, then keep following the instructions. If this is your first time using Slack, we recommend going through the small tutorial that will show up. Slack also has an app that you can download. This is especially useful if you have multiple groups, as you can access them all from the same app instead of having multiple tabs open in your browser.
