The Samvera community's primary realtime communication mechanism is a Slack workspace. We use this for discussion, questions, announcements, interest groups, and working groups. Anyone can create a new channel within the Samvera Slack team workspace once they have registered for an account.

Joining a Slack team workspace requires an invitation, but anyone can generate an automatic invite using the following form: http://slack.samvera.org/.
