Details are posted in the #announcements channel at meeting time for the link. During the weekly meeting chat along live on the #meetings channel. All meetings are available afterwards on YouTube for viewing.

 Current Channels
 #announcements  This is a one way only channel for announcements.  It's a way to get a quick update on current issues, meeting announcements, ideas/issues up for consideration.  This is NOT a discussion channel.
 #announcements-discuss THIS is where you can join in on any discussion of issues in the anouncements channel.   The discussion is kept separate so the announcements channel can remain a quick reference without posts getting buried in long discussions.
 #meetings The live chat channel for use during google hangouts only
 #general:  
 #random: off-topic place to share items of interest that are either amusing or not directly relevant to the platform development
 #updates: automated postings from integrated systems such as pr integrations on github etc.

​ Channels to come:

 #research-engineering:  Again this will come, but it is the area to discuss code contributions and other software development topics.
 #ogov-and-operations:  Discussion related to the operations and governance of the crowdsourcing platform we are building.
 #userresearch: Discussion relating to research on the UI/UX of the crowdsourcing platform.

Trello - a powerful task management tool. We post each week's milestone on weekly Trello boards.
