Communication Infrastructure

The CDSC uses three primary modes of internal communication: **email lists**, **IRC channels**, and **Jitsi video conference calling**.

Email lists

New members of this group will need to subscribe to CDSC email lists to stay up to date with important information like group announcements or review shared materials before meetings and workshops. See the link below on how to subscribe to our email lists:

IRC

New members should also join the CDSC IRC channel for synchronous communication (live chat) between group members. See the link below on how to connect to our IRC channel and get set up with IRC in general:

Jitsi

Finally, the CDSC primarily uses Jitsi for video conference calls for weekly group meetings. You will want to learn how to use Jitsi and proper etiquette during video call meetings by checking out the link below:

Future Meetings and Conferences

We typically have an annual CDSC retreat; you can see pages for many of them in the Past Meetups section below. They often include workshopping, which historically involved CommunityData:Critique and Feedback Sessions.

  • 2024 Meetup TBD - As of Dec. 1, 2023, planning for a future retreat (anticipated fall 2024) has not yet started. Come back later!

Conferences we often attend include ICA, CHI, CSCW, as well as many others. You can find information about the upcoming iteration of those conferences on their respective websites.

Diversions

  • CommunityData:Light events — The light in the lab at UW is funny. We have three fluorescent lights. On flipping the light switch, only two turn on. The third turns on eventually. We are studying this arcane phenomenon.
  • CommunityData:GameIDs — A directory containing the game IDs for CDSC members to connect with each other across various gaming platforms.
