== 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:
* [[CommunityData:Email]] — Information on email lists, email aliases and their management.

===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:
* [[CommunityData:IRC]] — How to get set up on our chat system, [[:wikipedia:IRC|IRC]]

===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:
