Slack

Staff, contractors, and some developers, support volunteers, and affiliated conference attendees, can use a Slack team to communicate in real time from a variety of devices.

In practice, there is a flurry of logistical communication around any given official conference, and intermittent purpose-focused chat on other topics (such as particular development issues or downtimes).

If you need to be invited to the team, check in with a staff member or senior volunteer.

For general development and social chat, see IRC.
