Join the UC GIS Slack Channel!

During UC GIS Week, we will be using Slack as the main means of communicating. For live discussions and to send questions to moderators and presenters, join the UC GIS Slack. Every UC GIS Week session has a channel, and there are also channels for general conversation and getting help. Slack is a text chat tool available as a website and mobile app, where conversations happen in channels. Here’s a guide to getting started with Slack.
