Slack is a channel-based messaging platform that will be used for networking during the LSST:UK AHM. Anyone registered for the meeting can comment on posters and presentations during the week using their Slack account, after accepting their invitation at https://join.slack.com/t/lsstukahm/shared_invite/zt-pkedljvl-HS6Dh2WzHTiWD0f6h1uz1g.

The LSST:UK AHM Slack workspace consists of the following general channels:

  • #announcements - Channel with information about the meeting, handy quick links, and other information.

  • #help_desk - Information for attendees about getting help with Slack or any other matters.

  • #hello-my-name-is - Channel where attendees can introduce themselves. Informal and social networking channel.

  • #new-to-all-this - Channel where UK Early Career Researchers and other UK researchers new to the LSST:UK community may ask any questions they have.
