Non-team specific Channels

While SSI consists of 6 distinct teams, a large number of channels are general to all SSI members. These channels are great for cross-ssi discussions.

General Channels

• #general - typically for general SSI-wide announcements
• #random - for things you want to share with SSI that doesn’t belong in any other channels

Team Channels

Each team has a general announcements channel of the format: #[teamname] (ex #rockets) where general team wide discussion and announcements will be made. Sub-projects, and often subsystems of subprojects will be in their own channels. This is usually where the engineering takes place!
