Congratulations, you not only successfully logged into the CBB Zürich workspace but also accessed our internal wiki.
TL;DR for the lazy people
When creating new PUBLIC channels use these naming conventions (Examples):
lec_data-mining-1 (Data Mining I - course discussion, homework)
lec_computational-biology (Computational Biology - course discussion, homework)
fun_lunch (organising lunch with CBB friends on campus)
fun_tennis
Before creating a new public channel please check if someone hasn't already created one before you

Goal
This page is intended to get you started with Slack and the CBB Zürich workspace. It consists of three chapters:
The first chapter gives you a brief introduction to Slack. If you have not used Slack before we strongly recommend to start with chapter one. If you are a Slack master, you can overfly this chapter or directly continue with chapter two.
The second chapter summarises the conventions of the CBB Zürich workspace.
The third chapter shows you some advanced techniques which let you master Slack.
This whole article is meant to help you and should not be understood as a strict role book. Ultimately, it should help you to easily communicate with your fellow students and the CBB committee. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Just let us know (preferably via Slack).
