| | #REDIRECT[[Communications Methods]] |
| Our general communications policy is simple:
| |
| | |
| # Pick a system that works to facilitate communication | |
| # Use it
| |
| # Don't change it unless it's failing.
| |
| | |
| == E-Mail ==
| |
| | |
| E-mail is the most common method of communication within HacDC and between HacDC and the outside world.
| |
| | |
| === Public E-mail Lists ===
| |
| | |
| Our public lists, which anyone can sign up for, are:
| |
| | |
| * [http://hacdc.org/mailman/listinfo/announce_hacdc.org [email protected]] : A moderated, weekly update list designed to keep the general public informed about what's happening, what's been discussed and what's coming up at HacDC. | |
| * [http://hacdc.org/mailman/listinfo/blabber_hacdc.org [email protected]] : Our completely unmoderated and public open discussion forum covering a wide range of topics and questions. | |
| | |
| === Public POC E-mail ===
| |
| | |
| All inquiries from the outside world, via e-mail, should go to [[[email protected]]]. This is a [[Wikipedia:Ticket_tracking|ticket tracking]] system that helps ensure incoming issues are routed appropriately. | |
| | |
| [[[email protected]]] may be used within the web page, wiki, on documents, flyers, etc. as a way for those outside HacDC to contact the organization. | |
| | |
| === Internal/Member E-mail Addresses/Aliases ===
| |
| | |
| Each member is entitled to an @hacdc.org e-mail account. HacDC shall offer hosting for @hacdc.org e-mail accounts or offer the option of forwarding to the member's chosen e-mail address. Member e-mail shall not be archived, except as chosen by the member in a hosted e-mail account.

| === Project Contact E-Mail Addresses ===
| |
| | |
| Each ongoing project must have an e-mail address associated with it. The e-mail address may be an alias for the project coordinator, a discussion list for the project as a whole or an alias to info@ so [[The Ministers]] may be able to send project inquiries to the correct relevant parties. In any case, the status of each project contact e-mail must be documented here:

| == IRC ==
| |
| | |
| [[wikipedia:IRC | IRC]] is another method of communication for HacDC. It is a great way to keep in touch or have meetings with groups of people separated by distances.
| |
| | |
| Members of HacDC (and a few [[Friends of HacDC]]) maintain the IRC channel #hacdc at [irc://irc.freenode.org/hackdc freenode.org]. This is the officially recognized channel where [[The Ministers]] and/or designates are expected to provide information on HacDC and discuss HacDC projects and activities.
| |
| | |
| Projects whose communities rely on IRC are encouraged to start their own IRC channels or actively participate in existing channels.
